Hi, you can customize your windows keyboard (most come with the special windows keys that open the start menu under windows) in KDE. The answer lies in customizing the keyboard shortcuts in kde. The actual procedure is given in the KDE Documentation under KDE Frequently asked questions (chapter 9) section 7. Here i quote from that: ----start of quote---------
How do I use the three extra keys on my Windows� keyboard in KDE? You may have to configure your X server via xmodmap to bind the keycodes of the Windows� keys to useful X key symbols (xev is your friend!). First, create a file $HOME/.Xmodmap containing the entries: keycode 115=F13 keycode 117=F15 Then run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap. This sets the Start key to emit F13 and the Windows key to emit F15. Next, fire up the KDE Control Center and select Shortcut Keys->Global Shortcut. Set Pop-up system menu to F13 and Window operations menu to F15. That is it. The numbers 115 and 117 may depend on the keyboard. If you are not sure, please check using xev. In addition, the above procedure requires KDE 1.1 and above. -------end of quote---------- you can try entering this url in your Konquerer browser to access the above topic.: file:/usr/share/doc/HTML//default//khelpcenter/faq/configure.html#AEN1914 In my case, i had to run the xev program to get the correct keycodes for my windows keys. good luck! regards, Sailendra.
