(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kicker Version: KDE 2.2.0 Alpha2 Severity: wishlist Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 2.95.3 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake 7.2 (kernel 2.2.17) See subject :) A lot of Windows-want-to-be converts or new KDE users want to use the Windows Key as an alternative to ALT+F1. After all this will be handy if keyboard manufacturers ever rename it to the "Linux Key"! :) In other words provide two ways to open up the K Menu (by *default*) at the *same time*: Windows Key and ALT+F1. If this means that KDE will now need to be changed to support multiple key bindings oh well :) (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

I don't think it is possible to assign an action to just the Meta key let alone have multiple key bindings for an action. Anyway this is not kicker's problem. later John
Just following Stephan Kulow's instructions about changing email addresses for bug reports :) Please do not continue sending to baitfish@bigpond.com. My sincere apologies if I am clogging up the kde-bugs mailinglists.
Featured add in CVS -- the K-Menu will now pop up if the Win-key is pressed and released without any intervening keys. And about email to baitfish@bigpond.com: I don't know where those instructions are; if you want to give me a link, I'll fix the address, but otherwise this request is closed now anyway.
Win key does not popup KMenu when num lock or caps lock is on. Running KDE 3.2.1 on FC1.
Ellis, which file(s) were modified for this? (I'd like to be able to snag a small patch against kde-3.2.1).
Never mind, I misread the dates on posts and just now realized Ellis' previous post was almost a year old.
How is it possible to disable this feature? (kde 3.2) When I press the meta key (= left windows), for ex in emacs, the menu appears! Thank you!
