Mapping Windows Key and Cabinet Power Button

[dzchimp]

I'd like to Map the Windows Key to the KDE App Launcher; Win+E to Dolphin, Win+R to Konsole, all at the same time.

I'd like some help to figure this out.

I'd like to explain so far what I've tried to activate Windows Key as the key to activate Application launcher widget:

Found out the key code with:

xev | grep Super_L
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES

Changed Mapping:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 133 = F13'

Global Keyboard Shortcuts>Plasma Desktop Shell>Activate Appln launcher widget>Custom>F13

It doesnt work yet.

To change the KDE app launcher shortcut right click on the launcher icon > Application Launcher Settings > Keyboard Shortcut (and change from there)
To configure custom shortcuts goto System Settings > Shortcuts & Gestures > Custom Shortcuts. You can add custom shortcuts from here.
For example to add Win + E to Dolphin right click under Configure Input Actions Settings > New > Global Shortcut > Command/URL (give it a name) > Trigger (input shortcut) > Action > Command/URL (type dolphin in text box). Hit apply.

Thanks. The first part worked, and I was able to open the App launcher with Win key. But when it's configured in this way, I'm unable to set Win+[some other key] for anything else, as it's being detected as a single key press, and a warning pops up stating that the key has already been assigned to the App launcher.

I forgot that KDE won't allow you to map the Win Key by itself and then have other Win+ shortcuts. You're going to have select a different key combination for the app launcher. Maybe something like Win+Space?

No wonder. Thank you.
