Hello! I am using GuixSD and Xfce4 = desktop environment.

There= is shortcut on my panel that shows desktop: http://0x0.st/zPx4.png

How to bind keyboard key to minimize all win= dows and show desktop?

By default there is such key bind: Ctrl + Alt + D -- this s= hows desktop on Xfce4.

But= I want to use just only one button - Menu - this is extra button between C= trl and Alt in the right side, cause I do not use it at all.

I install wmctrl

$ guix package -i wmctrl

= according to the manual http= s://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl need to use command

$ wmctrl -k on

To bin= d a key to this command I open on Xfce4: Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard= .

(or also you can open s= ettings from terminal: `xfce4-settings-manager` and choose Keyboard menu)

'Application Shortcuts' tab= there and add command 'wmctrl -k on' and press 'Menu' when it asks = to press.

I've got this line: http://0x0.st/zPxx.png

Now it wor= ks permanently.

Also I usually change keyboard layo= ut selection button to left Menu button.

There is a= lso xdotool in guix that might be helpful for tasks like this.

znavko.
