Configuring the menu key in Plasma, F30

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Yesterday I have installed the latest F30 from the KDE Live media onto
my laptop, and so far it works great. The only problem I have is the
functionality of the "menu" key (sitting in between the AltGr and
right Ctrl keys on my keyboard).

Apparently, pressing that key gives a popup menu at the position of the
mouse pointer, as if I have pressed the right mouse button. In my
usecase, this behavior is useless (I use two-finger tap on the
touchpad to invoke that menu), so I want to reassign the menu key to do
something else (such as opening the KDE application menu or whatever
else).

However, if I try to assign that key to any shortcut, instead of
capturing the keypress, the popup menu appears instead.

My google-fu failed me, since searching for anything involving "menu
key" brings up a bunch of hits describing how to assign some key
to open a menu, instead of talking about the menu key.

The only relevant suggestion I found was to reassign the keycode of the
menu key to some nonexisting regular key like F13, using xmodmap. But
this seems to be a kludge, and I'm wondering if there is a "proper" way
in Plasma to configure the behavior of the menu key.

This issue is a reappearance of an old bug [1] from 2008, which seems to
have been resolved in 2015, but apparently regressed again in the
meantime.

Any suggestions?

TIA, :-)
Marko
