I want to get my old "win" key back! I don't need no smelly F15 button to open kmenu for me, I'm used to the win key as an important key for global shortcuts.

I know it probably has something to do with xmodmap, but I didn't quite get how that works ( how to remove F15 ).

Thanks!

Don't know how much you already have customized your install, but I used the hatchet approach to mine. Right after install I deleted the .kde folder and built mine from scratch, then used control center to assign my usual shortcuts. No xmodmap involved.

Thanks nightflier, that works fine. I don't do much customizing, so it was solved pretty soon.

LOL, and everybody was bitching that we didn't have the winkey set up before... Grin

Ah yeah, who do you choose to please?  Wink

I never managed to have the winkey bring up the menu in addition to being usable for combination shortcuts. The combinations are most important to me, that way I very seldom need the start menu.

I use the left Windoze key to type åççënt characters. I have no idea what I'm going to do with its partner on the right, but I'm looking for a keysym that generates an endless stream of gold coins.

In any case, the following page may shed some light on The Headacher's problem:

I would see if $HOME/.Xmodmap contains anything. It might be loaded in Autostart...?

Yes, but I can bring up the menu with Ctrl+Esc (standard behavior) . I need that winkey as a modifier.
