I also turn of snapping, Snapping would make a lot of sense on a tablet, 
but ... then you dont have a keyboard so even there it is useless. So 
maybe in the future someone will figure out a better way.

LXQt has a nice shortcut editor so in the near future this will probable 
not be an issue.
Maybe someone can strip the shortcuts from that XML and put them in a 
nice table on the Lubuntu website?

Many laptops have their own hardware key combo for that. FN+F4 in my 
case.  So i wonder how hard it is to make a default key combo for this.

Is there a difference or advantage in using set-prop over using
xinput disable <device>
xinput enable <device>

?
