Exactly what I hoped to achieve and what was promised. When used by itself the super key opened WhiskerMenu. The applications opened and the menu didn’t appear. I had previously configured some shortcuts to open applications using Super + other keys so I could easily test. Next I ran ksuperkey from alt + F2 and tested. In Korora the Super key is used to open WhiskerMenu so in Settings – Keyboard – Shortcuts I edited that to use Alt + F1. I removed that shortcut as I use whiskermenu. If used without any options Ksuperkey calls alt + F1 which in Korora opens the menu by default. I followed this guide, replacing yum with dnf, and it worked without any issues. Unfortunately Ksuperkey is no longer packed for Fedora 23 so can’t just be installed in Korora. That sounded like it was worth checking out. in a combination with another key as a shortcut, the menu will be opened as well as the action called by the shortcut.Ī question from another Korora team member reminded me of Ksuperkey and looking at the Github page for the project I noted a comment that while it was written for KDE it should work in other Desktop Environments including Xfce. It is often set to open the menu whether the default menu or WhiskerMenu is used. I have often seen questions about this particularly as regards the Super (aka Win) key. One of the restrictions in Xfce is that you can’t use a key as both a shortcut key and a key modifier. Update: Ksuperkey is in the Korora repo now and included in Korora Xfce 24.
