Make some nicer keybinds:

- Bind <code>xfce4-popup-whiskermenu</code> to something like alt+f1 than use xcape to bind it to
- super to get around the xfce super key bug. Add <code>xcape -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1'</code> as a
- startup application or whatever dummy keybind you binded to whiskermenu. Sadly xfce cant bind
- anything to super key without breaking other shortcuts that use super so we have to use xcape
- in a painful hacky way.
