echo "Tab-key not working for bash-completion on XFCE \n
A bizarre bug redirects tab to window-switch on XFCE. You can fix this by editing one line in a file called\n
\n
$HOME/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml \n
. In this file change the following line \n
\n
<property name="&lt;Super&gt;Tab" type="string" value="switch_window_key"/> \n
to this \n
\n
<property name="<Super>" type="empty"/> \n
. Don't ask... , restart your session and enjoy. \n
