Ubuntu – What can be the issue when after installing Lubuntu 18.10 shortcuts for window tiling and other ones don’t work

lubuntulxqtshortcut-keys

I installed Lubuntu 18.10 on my machine. I was used to clicking Windows + Left/Right to get a split screen with opened windows back on Linux Mint, but it's not working on Lubuntu.

Having searched around a bit I tried to edit config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml, but there is no real reason to do that, cause all the necessary lines to make those shortcuts work are present in the file. Having read the Lubuntu Manual chapter 5.4 I am convinced that these shortcuts should work.

Can anybody help me with this?

The lines that should enable the shortcuts in lxqt-rc.xml

Thanks.

To fix this, I went to Menu > Session settings and then disabled Global Keyboard Shortcuts under Basic settings tab.

All the keybindings from lxqt-rc.xml started working after that, including Super_L + E for pcmanfm and window tiling shortcuts.
