HOWTO Unmap Ctrl-Alt-End in Xfce on Debian

Using Remote Desktop (via Citrix) to access a Windows server, and need to press Ctrl-Alt-End to send Ctrl-Alt-Del to change your password?

By default, in Xfce Ctrl-Alt-End is mapped to

/xfwm4/default/<Primary><Alt>End           move_window_next_workspace_key

which stops Citrix from sending it.

To undo this mapping, you can go to:

Start / Settings / Settings Editor

Then on the left go to

xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts

Find:

xfwm4 / default / <Primary><Alt>End String move_window_next_workspace_key

And possibly:

xfwm4 / custom / <Primary><Alt>End String move_window_next_workspace_key

Select it and choose Reset
