binding the Win-key to K-menu
how can I bind the "Win" button (the one that in windows shows the "start" menu) to the K-menu??
I tried to use the control center-> keybord shortcuts, but it doesn't work at all, because it takes only "win+<another button>" not just "win".... thanks a lot!
nothing to do, keys are mapped in Mods, but when I try to bind a shortcut to WIN it does not work, it shows "win+" waiting another button to be pressed... how can i use only "win"??
(using debian woody)
btw, thank you!
Win key + numlock doesn't work
It probably allready is. You can see in the Keyboard Shortcuts control center module if your scheme uses this binding.
Problem: it only works when numluck is off. I don't know why
you're right! only if numLock is off.... ???????
thank you a lot!
Here's what I do:
Create a file called .Xmodmap in your home dir. It contains:
[code:1]
keycode 115=F13
keycode 116=F14
keycode 117=F15
[/code:1]
This binds Win-L to F13, Win-R to F14 and that context menu type button to F15. To get X to see this run
[code:1]
~$ xmodmap .Xmodmap
[/code:1]
I put a script in KDE's Autostart dir to run this every time KDE starts up. It's a little, hacky, but it works. There's probably a way to have X do this rather than KDE.
The disadvantage is that you lose the ability to use the extra keys as modifiers. Because of this I only bind the Win-R key (116 = F14) and leave the other two unbound (or they can be set to Super_L and Menu, respectively, which is the same thing).
