Keyboard shortcut management from CLI

First remove an existing key binding with:

xfconf-query --reset                 \
  --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts \
  --property /commands/custom/'<Super>f'

Then add yours:

xfconf-query --create                    \
  --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts     \
  --property /commands/custom/'<Super>f' \
  --type string                          \
  --set 'exo-open --launch FileManager'

Customize these commands, and add them to any automation scripts you have!

Note: If you want to bind <Ctrl> you have to call it <Primary> for some odd reason!
