 |
|
Hi all,
I've finisched installing the latest release of Plasma but I can't seem to get the meta key working, I've checked the keymaps file in /etc/conf.d and the windows key is set to yes so I'm out of ideas.
Is there any other place where this setting might be?
Thank you :) |

Meta or super or windows key or whatever, all this names drive me crazy. I need it to map some shortcut for my workflow.

Never heard of it. |

Ah, the Windows key! xev shows that the left Windows key is called 'Super_L' on my machine. And the right one 'Super_R'.
| Code: | KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
root 0x6be, subw 0x0, time 13468471, (92,88), root:(963,595),
state 0x2000, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False |
What do you want to happen if you press that key? |

I use Plasma as DE and I want to open the software menu for browsing the apps, I also use it to remap the lock and suspend functions with L and S keys. |
