Alt+F1 for app launcher does not work

Post by capponz »

Hi,
I just installed Mint 16 KDE on to an Acer Extensa 5620. and found out that the shortkey Alt+F1 to launch the Kmenu does not work.
I tried to modify plasma-desktop-appletsrc as :

Code: Select all

[Containments][2][Applets][12]
geometry=0,0,20,20
[b]global=Alt+F1[/b]
immutability=1
plugin=launcher
zvalue=1

which does not work. I cant find any other options to set this up. Any ideas how I get this shortcut back to work?
thank you very much

I'm not sure if your problem is the same as mine, but nothing was happening for me when I hit Alt+F1 in Mint 16 KDE.

Re: Alt+F1 for app launcher does not work MAYBE Solved?

A funny thing happened when I was re-reading this post.

If ALT+F1 does not work, try instead...

ALT+F2

I completely forgot about that!
