1. hotkeys created with the editor are invisible to xfconf-query and visa-versa. (Unconfirmed, possibly only on older version)
2. hotkeys created with xfconf-query are non-functional. (confirmed)
3. hotkeys using "ctrl" must be created with BOTH <Primary> and <Ctrl> to work (i.e. two different keys must be created.) (VERIFIED ON CURRENT VERSION)


trivial re-creating case against the latest development release:

xfconf-query --create -t string -c "xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" -p "/commands/custom/<Super><Ctrl>KP_Page_Down" -s "xeyes"

running the following should make it work:

xfconf-query --create -t string -c "xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" -p "/commands/custom/<Super><Primary>KP_Page_Down" -s "xeyes"

And this should make it fail again:

xfconf-query --reset -t string -c "xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts" -p "/commands/custom/<Super><Ctrl>KP_Page_Down"
