Bug Description
In 18.10, we made use of the fact that lxqt-globalkeys can define the Super key by itself to open the menu. This had no effect on any Super key combinations defined in lxqt-globalkeys. Unfortunately, this had the negative consequence of essentially disabling all of the key combinations that used the Super key as defined by Openbox.
Luckily the workaround is simple: remove the definition for the Super key. You can do this in the GUI or deal with this section of the config file at /etc/xdg/
[Super_L.9]
Comment=Show/hide main menu
Enabled=true
path=/panel/
In fixing this there's a larger discussion of auditing all the shortcuts:
