I thought that in XFCE you could add an entry in xfce4-session-settings with
this as command:

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -option -option compose:lwin,grp:alt_shift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp_led:scroll
But it doesn't work for me (maybe because XFCE loads setxkbmap on its own and
overwrites this setting).

So I don't know how to do it in XFCE at startup (I mostly use i3wm by the way,
where I can add such a thing in the config file).

If you use the terminal a lot you could put it in .bashrc, there it would be
loaded for sure (but maybe only after you open a terminal).

The above bit that is in code tags in session and startup as an entry works! :number1:
