    <thetext>Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:          n/a n/a
OS:                FreeBSD
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports

Ok, maybe I am the only one who is using both Microsoft Windows 7 and KDE on FreeBSD and who loves to use Keyboard shortcuts.

It drives me crazy when I hit Windows + D in KDE and nothing happens. On Windows Windows + D minimizes all the windows.  I couldn&apos;t find a way to make this happen at all in KDE4 (Ctrl+F12 is not the same, it doesn&apos;t minimize the windows, it doesn&apos;t something else).  I need all windows minimized and I would like it to happen when I press Windows + D.

Same thing with Windows + E. It opens explorer in Windows but does nothing in KDE (however, I could change this manually, yeah!).

Same thing with Windows + R.  This opens the Run bar in Windows and I would love this to happen in KDE.

And pressing and releasing the Windows Logo key without hitting another key should open the menu just like it does in Windows.

I am not saying Microsoft is better. I am saying that I have to use Windows but I choose to use KDE. If the same shortcut keys work the same way on both, then that makes my life easier.

Here is a list of Microsoft keys. Please match them as closely as possible.

    <thetext>KDE 3 had an option to use Windows shortcuts, it seems to have disappeared entirely. It was configured on the first-login dialogue, which itself is gone.

Maybe this wish could be expanded to have a central keyboard-shortcuts editor for all KDE apps, which could import keyboard shortcuts from a &quot;config file&quot;. Then such config files could be made available on sites such as kde-look. An additional benefit would be simplification of upgrading and bringing one&apos;s preferred shortcuts with him.</thetext>

    <thetext>You can easily change those to your preference, I don&apos;t think that KDE should emulate Windows (btw, how do you determine which version?), I also believe that this wouldn&apos;t be possible because of different features in the two environments.</thetext>
