windows button on keyboard in linux
 

2 questions

1 - is there any way to make the program menu appear like in windows when i hit the windows key on my dell usb keyboard, i was thinking on applying a redhat (fedora) decal over the windows image.

2 - is there anyway to have windows + E, pop up an explorer (home or computer) directory in the same way windows does it.
thanks in advance,

hi,
don't know about Fedora core.......but in slackware pressing window key or the combination of (Alt + F1) does the same thing.

regards

By default Redhat/Fedora prefer GNOME, which I really dont appreciate much, if you switch your desktop manager to KDE, then in KDE-Control Center(kcontrol), you can assign any types of key binddings that you desire.
Win key: indeed pops up system menu.
Ctrl+ESC : gives you so called task manager
ALt+tab switches window ... so on & ..so forth...........

well i am using what ever is the default when u install fedora core 4 (and i dont really have any problems with it), so i just wanted to get the same funcitonality here, is that possible ?

is there a control centre equivanet for what ever the deault gui is ?

I'm using fedora, but an older version, with GNOME. In the standard options, under preferences, there is a section called "keyboard shortcuts", maybe it's on yours too? :)

yeah i found it, i managed to map the windoze key to the menu, but was wondering how to map the windoze key + e to the home menu. When ever i try to hit the windowze key + anything else it tells me that it is already mapped to the other function that i jsut did. seems like u cant type in the key names. any ideas ?
