I use xfce4-notes in Xubuntu 14.04, und I have the possibility to show/hide the notes via the panel plugin in the notification tray. I will append images of this panel plugin because I can not find its exact name:

enter image description here

icon2

Every click on one of the icons toggles the visibility --- shows or hides the notes.

Now I would love to do that by keyboard shortcut. For that I need the command the panel buttons call. My Google-Fu failed me in that. Can you help me?

Well there is xfce4-popup-notes that can make notes visible but does not toggle it! Although you have to use the Esc key to hide it again!

  • Did not know this command, and also not that I can use Esc key. Thanks! Although a "real" toggle command would be nicer e.g. because of multiple notes groups. – Droids Jun 22 '16 at 05:38
  • FYI: I noticed that you can cycle through all note groups (concerning window focus) when repeatedly pressing the shortcut for xfce4-popup-notes. – Droids Jun 22 '16 at 06:15

You can enable the tab view from the properties dialog in xfce4-notes (right-click on title bar). Then use Tab + Ctrl key combination to select the current tab. After that, use Left and Right Arrow keys to switch in between tabs.

Also, you can use Ctrl + N keys to create a new note. Esc key to hide the window.
