I just move from gnome to LXDE. It is quite good, fast and light. But, some functions are lost in from gnome. For example, I can press Alt+F7 in gnome to move a window with keyboard or mouse. But, I can not do it in LXDE. Can I set it up in configure file?

I did update ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml to contain

<keybind key="A-F7">
  <action name="Move"/>
</keybind>

in the section <keyboard>.

When reloading the config with

openbox --reconfigure

i can press Alt+F7 to move the window.

    In Lubuntu 16.04 I have the settings in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and there is no the lxde-rc.xml file.

A bit late ... but for whoever might be interested : Alt+click & Move does it !

lxde doesn't provide a window manager, read this.

    Thanks. So, can I use openbox's window manager? Actually, I can use 'Alt + space' and 'move' to simulate 'Alt + F7'.

Alt+Space brings up Openbox menu, including Move option.
