Bind keys to actions in KDE 4

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9702 / 2 Years ago, sun, september 18, 2022, 12:49:48

I mainly use windows and use Linux/Kubuntu occasionally, and would love it if the same Windows shortcuts can be applied in KDE 4.

Shortcuts that I would love to have.

Winkey - Launches the start menu.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc - Brings up taskmanager

Winkey+d - Issues the minimize all comand

Winkey+e - Open up Naultius

Can anyone suggest and method to bind the keys into doing the correct stuff?

Edit #1:

5.Also Winkey+L - To lock the computer

AFAIK you cannot make just the Super key open the Applications menu. The default shortcut for this is Alt + F1

The default shortcut for the System monitor is Ctrl + Esc

There is no global shortcut for it, but you can set one. (KDE component: KWin, action: Show desktop)

There is no global shortcut for it, but you can set one. Note that the file browser on KDE is named Dolphin. See this answer on setting shortcuts for applications.

Ctrl + Alt + L locks the screen.

The default shortcut to get the Run dialog is Alt + F2. This can be mapped to Super + R as well. (KDE component: Run command, action: "Run command")

The global shortcuts can be controlled to the Global shortcuts configuration module. Open the Applications menu and search for Global shortcuts.
