    Creating keyboard shortcuts.... YaST?

    Hi, I'm trying to set up keyboard shortcuts in openSuSE 10.2 in KDE. Specifically I want to make the key input "Win-key+L" perform the action of locking the screen. I've been looking in YaST and have not found anything to let me map this, and I also am unable to locate the install package for KDE desktop manager.

    Anyone know how to make this work? Thanks in advance!

    Open a Konsole and type:

    Code:
    kcontrol
    ...then go to Regional & Accessibility / Keyboard shortcuts

    It is not in Yast it should be in your menu. It is a KDE thing not a system thing

    Some of these distros just love doing away with the KDE Control Center and implementing their own customized control center. I don't know if Suse does that or not, but if they do, he should be able to reach it with the kcontrol command.

    Yep, that is how I had to do it. Works like a charm, now!
