Display
Screen options and other GUI-related stuff in Raspbian Jessie on Rasperry Pi.
Default desktop environment is LXDE, with pi-specific tweaks it then become Pixel.
Openbox is the window manager.
Display settings
| config.txt |
Set HD resolution, edit /boot/config.txt:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=82
82: 1920x1080 60Hz 1080p
42: 1400x1050 60Hz

Simulate hdmi to modify screen settings when connecting thru VNC, you can leave it at 1 even if real hdmi is connected:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
VNC
RealVNC for Raspberry Pi | server docs |

Keyboard shortcuts
Default system shortcuts are defined in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml, search for "keybind".
Minimize all windows (show desktop): Ctrl + Alt + D
Open terminal: Ctrl + Alt + T
Custom user-specific shortcuts might be created in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
There are already a file ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml that seems to hold user-specific settings.
Reload settings: openbox --reconfigure
Screensaver
Install screensaver to get screen locking and more (man page):
sudo apt install xscreensaver
Lock screen: sleep 2; xscreensaver-command -lock
Other
Disable boot splash screen, remove the word "splash" in /boot/cmdline.txt:
sudo cp /boot/cmdline.txt /boot/cmdline.txt.bak sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
