This is not possible in Mepis 8.5 using KDE 4.3.4. 962099 1 thomas.luebking 2010-05-14 17:52:07 +0000 what is the menu key? keycode 115 ("mod4" the key between left ctrl and alt, probably has a windows logo) is a meta key (iirc always has been) you'll have to eg. modmap it to another key (like F13, as you probably don't have F13-F20) if you want to use it as full key try "xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = F13", then try assign this key to whatever. (you can automize this via eg. ~/.kde/share/autostart/ add a file "xprofile.desktop" -- snip -- [Desktop Entry] Exec=/bin/sh $HOME/.xprofile #Hidden=true Name=xprofile Type=Service X-KDE-StartupNotify=false X-KDE-autostart-phase=0 -- end snip -- and "$HOME/.xprofile" containing the above command or xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap (which you'll have to fill with the required aliases, at least "keycode 115 = F13" (w/o the quotes) 962203 2 johanssongreppet 2010-05-14 23:40:17 +0000 Thomas, the Menu key has a small image of a drop-down menu and a mouse pointer arrow on it, and the key is most often placed to the left of the right Ctrl key. Its key code is 117. 962223 3 thomas.luebking 2010-05-15 00:47:45 +0000 ... and keysym 0xff67, you're right. Qt seems to (internally) bind it to the context event (ie. you get the rmb instead, i was not able to add it by editing kglobalshortcutsrc) 965018 4 johanssongreppet 2010-05-21 09:56:00 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > ... and keysym 0xff67, you're right. > Qt seems to (internally) bind it to the context event (ie. you get the rmb > instead, i was not able to add it by editing kglobalshortcutsrc) Would you report it as a bug to the Qt developers? 966154 5 mgraesslin 2010-05-23 16:34:09 +0000 definately not a kwin bug. I hope I found the correct product/component combination (is there a cheat sheet?). If not please assign to correct one. 1203307 6 cfeck 2011-12-21 22:35:01 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 165542 ***
