[Philip Rodrigues]

SVN commit 492068 by philrod:

Two new FAQs: How to get konq sans menubar, and how to open the K menu with the
Windows key.

The answer to the second could do with some review, but I think it's largely 
correct.

+<question><para>How do I use the &Windows; key to open the &kmenu;?</para>
+</question>
+
+<answer><para>Previous versions of &kde; provided a trick to allow you to
+use the &Windows; key both as a modifier (so you could have shortcuts
+like <keycombo action="simul"><keysym>Win</keysym><keycap>R</keycap>
+</keycombo>), and as a regular key (so that pressing
+<keysym>Win</keysym> on its own could open the &kmenu;). This feature
+was removed for reasons of usability and accessibility, as well as
+keeping the code clean. For current versions of &kde;, you have two
+options: either use a different shortcut to open the &kmenu; (the
+default is <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F1</keycap>
+</keycombo>), or remap the <keysym>Win</keysym> key to be a regular
+key, rather than a modifier.</para>
+
+<para>If you choose to do the second, here's one way:
+
+<orderedlist>
+<listitem><para>Find the keycode for your <keysym>Win</keysym> key
+using <command>xev</command>: Run the command
+<userinput><command>xev</command></userinput> in a &konsole;, and
+press the <keysym>Win</keysym> key. Look in the output of
+<command>xev</command> for
+<computeroutput>keycode <replaceable>n</replaceable></computeroutput>,
+where <replaceable>n</replaceable> is the keycode of the
+<keysym>Win</keysym> key.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>Use <command>xmodmap</command> to remap the
+<keysym>Win</keysym> key. An appropriate command is <userinput><command>xmodmap
+<option>-e</option> 'keycode
+<replaceable>n</replaceable>=Menu'</command></userinput>.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>In the &kcontrolcenter;, go to
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Regional &amp;
+Accessibility</guimenu><guimenuitem>Keyboard Shortcuts</guimenuitem>
+</menuchoice> and set the shortcut for <guilabel>Popup Launch
+Menu</guilabel> to the <keysym>Win</keysym> key. You should now be
+able to popup the &kmenu; by pressing the <keysym>Win</keysym> key.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem><para>One more step is required to save the changes across
+settings: Create a file <filename>~/.kde/env/win-key.sh</filename>
+(create the directory if it doesn't exist), and add the
+<command>xmodmap</command> command you used previously to it. The
+change should now be applied every time you start &kde;.</para>
