Using SUN6 keyboard with KDE

I'm not sure exactly which bit you're getting stuck on, but there are two
separate issues here. One is making sure that X knows about your extra keys
(so it can tell KDE when one is pressed) and the other is telling KDE what
to do when that key is pressed.

For the first, take a look at the instructions in the KDE User Guide here:
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/adding-extra-keys.html
and the next page.
Once you're sure that X knows about the extra keys, go to control center ->
regional & accessibility -> keyboard shortcuts -> application shortcuts,
where you'll find settings for cut, copy, paste, etc.
