Linux-Noob Forums

The credit for figuring out how to do this goes out to Scott from TheOpenSourceWeblog.

 

I had dugg this tutorial or "how to" a few weeks ago, and although there were only 9 diggs, I still figured it was a trick worth mentioning around here.

 

Quote:Coming from Windows myself, I used the "win key" or the "super" key heavily to get to the Start menu, but now after switching to Linux with the KDE desktop, I sure do miss that key. And I'm too lazy to press Alt+F1. This is a guide that will get that "win key" working in Linux again. Although it's a guide for KDE, it can work in GNOME as well.

Here's the direct linky:

Here's the link if you want to digg it:

Ah yes .. the 'Win' key .. what magic that is :)Nice simple howto!

interestingly enough, in SLED10 (which I'm running now) the Win key brings up the SLED 'computer' menu (just like the start menu)

 

no modifications required at all,

 

cheers
