I installed Lubuntu 14.10 yesterday (previously I used Ubuntu) and I want to activate the some usefule hotkeys that Ubuntu has.

In Ubuntu, for instance, you can move opened programs on the right side of the desktop by using the keyboard with the hotkey:

ctrl + SUPER + right_arrow

In Lubuntu, it is not possible, or, at least, it isn't just after the installation.

Also installing unity tweak tool it does not work.

How can I do that?

    Just FYI, Unity tweak will have no effect on LXDE (Lubuntu's desktop environment) - which is not related at all to Unity.

This page has an explanation on how to setup shortcuts Lubuntu/Keboard

Relevant section says:

There is no automatic way to create new keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys in lubuntu. You will either have to edit Lubuntu's openbox configuration file (~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml) and edit, or alternatively install xbindkeys.

Obkey will edit the keyboard parts of your Openbox configuration file for you. Download the .tar.gz and unarchive it. After unpacking the tar.gz, open a command line in the new folder and run obkey like this: ./obkey ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml Hint: back up your config file. After saving the config file, you will need to run this command to have openbox use the changed config: openbox --reconfigure

For more information on the syntax of the configuration file, please check out the official Openbox documentation on bindings. Note that Super_R and Super_L are the two "Windows" keys when you just want to use those keys. If you want to couple them with something else, use W- plus whatever key you want to use.
