Shorcuts for working with Qubes OS?

[Side Realiq]

What are your most used Qubes OS shortcuts?

Some I found so far:
- Alt+F3 opens the Application Finder
- Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right navigates between workspaces.

What is the shortcut to:
- move a window to another workspace
- open a terminal in the currently active VM
- lock the screen
- log out
- change display brightness
- change audio volume output

[Stumpy]

I actually changed a few shortcuts around. If you go to "settings
manager" > keyboard > application shortcuts you can see a few shortcuts,
and if you do settings manager > windows manager > keyboard then there
is a whole bucket load of xfce shortcuts.

Thank you! That was helpful for the logout, locking and moving to workspaces.

Any ideas how to set the following shortcuts:

- change display brightness
- change audio volume output

It seems that quickest way to open a terminal for a specific VM is: Alt+F3 then type "vmName: t" and 2x Enter.

for brightness, sorry no ideas.

For volume, I usually just hover the mouse over the volume icon and use
the scroll wheel - but you seem to be looking for a keyboard only option
for which I dont have any ideas.

Thanks! I found them:

Brightness: FN+Brightness +/-
Volume Up: amixer set Master 5%+
Volume Up: amixer set Master 5%-
Volume Mute/Unmute: amixer set Master toggle

Documented the findings so far here: https://github.com/csriq/qubes-os-usage/blob/master/qubes-shortcuts.md

Just a note that these should almost all be XFCE shortcuts, so not
Qubes-specific.

Ctrl+Shift+V launches a dmenu script that allows me to select which qube I want to start (much faster than doing it from qube manager or terminal)
Ctrl+Shift+B launches a similar dmenu script but this one allows to select which qube I want to shut down
ThinkVantage button starts a terminal in dom0
Win+Enter starts a terminal in currently focused qube (this one is part of stock Qubes i3 config)
Ctrl+Alt+D launches Chrome in a DispVM
Ctrl+Alt+T launches Thunderbird in mail VM
And several others almost identical to this one (launch App x in qube dedicated to running app X)
