Keyboard Short-Cut Question
I am curious to know how to make the windows key on my keyboard functional on Slackware.
I want to use it as one would in WIN, to open the 'k' menu. Is this possible? If so, how is it done? Thanks |
KDE? Go to the control center, there u can find "keyboard shortcuts" under "reginal and accessability" look for "pop up launch menu"
It seems you can't use win key on its own though, KDE 3.5 here. |
In gnome I've been able to configure through Desktop>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts but unfortunately only as a meta key, not as stand alone.
|
What I did is set the K Menu to Win+Z.
|
It works, but, unfortunately it still means you have to press 2 buttons :(
|
Yeh... but u can hit them both at the same time with one finger...
|
yeah, and I can run windows and reboot every 5 minutes :)
but seriousy, there must be a way to get this working with just the one key. |

Reference getting the Winkey to open the start menu, the only distro I have seen that would do that was an older version of Lycoris; it was enabled by default.

It's probably set up as a modifier key by xkb, so Slackware doesn't have the ability to use it on its own. If you play around with your .Xmodmap settings you should be able to remove that modifier setting - or you could run
Code:
xmodmap clear Mod4 I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly where the keyboard definition files are, but this TLDP HOWTO seems to cover setting it up. And of course, Google is your friend. HTH, Andrzej |
