Is there a list of commands for keyboard shortcuts in Xfce 4?

Question

I am relatively new to Xfce, but I love it. I am now looking into keyboard shortcuts and I am having problems with finding the right syntax for commands to bind keyboard shortcuts to.

I see two ways to set keyboard shortcuts:

1. menu → Settings → Keyboard → tab Application Shortcuts
2. file ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml\xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

The settings from option 1 I see in a <property name="custom"> section of option 2. But the file contains another <property name="custom"> that I don't see in the Keyboard Settings dialog, with commands like cycle_window_key, close_window_key, etc.

I would like to add keyboard shortcuts like tiling a window to the left, top, right, or bottom of the screen, but I can't find a list of commands and I have searched for a long time now.

I cannot seem to use move_window_up_key as a command, so I would love to see a list of *_key definitions as well.

Do these lists exist?

Although not a complete list (haven't been able to find a comprehensive one myself), take a peek at your window manager settings instead:

Menu → Settings → Window Manager → Keyboard
