Hi,

Is it possible to make KDE menu pop up by pressing the Windows button just like in Win XP ?

Regards,

create in your home a file called .Xmodmap (notice the leading dot) and put the following in it:

Code:

! left win
keycode 115=F13
! right win
keycode 116=F14

Lines beginning with a ! are comments
Create a file called, for instance, fix-keyb.sh in ~/.kde/Autostart and make it executable

Code:

chmod 775 fix-keyb.sh

put the following lines in it:

Code:

#! /bin/sh
xmodmap /home/roberto/.Xmodmap

Execute in a terminal the above command (next time you log in, it will be done automatically)
Then go to the KDE Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts->
"Panel" -> "Pop up launch menu"; select "custom" and use F13 as primary shortcut (just hit left win) and F14 as secondary shorcut (hit right win).
