Map the Windows key on your keyboard in KDE?


Here’s a quick tip to make working in KDE just a little bit more like working in Windows. (This is important if you’re trying to convert Windows users to Linux.)

1. K menu > Control Center.
2. Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Layout > Xkb Options
3. Check the boxes next to “Enable xkb options�, “Third Level Choosers�& “Press any of the Winkeys to choose 3rd level�
4. Press Apply.
5. Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts
6. Scroll down to Panel > Popup Launch Menu
7. Choose Custom & then press the Win key. When you do, it may be labeled ISO_Level3_Shift, but who cares?
8. Press Apply & close the Control Center.
