How to use the special character < for assigning shortcut-keys in openbox config file?

Question

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/1091953/ five characters need to be escaped in XML documents under some circumstances:

"   "
'   '
<   &lt;
>   &gt;
&   &amp;

I tried to use Winkey < as a shortcut-key for some command in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. I did the following attempts, both failed:

<keybind key="W-<">
 <action name="Execute">
<command>lxterminal</command>
</action>
</keybind>


<keybind key="W-&lt;">
 <action name="Execute">
<command>lxterminal</command>
</action>
</keybind>

How can I use Winkey < as a shortcut-key for some command?

As it says in the help for bindings, you can use the name of the key, in this case "less", found from using xev, so try key="W-less".
