Cheers /RobertLast I heard, this functionality was ripped out of KDE as part of the kicker overhaul. I miss it as well, but it was apparently a monster hack, and caused various problems. Perhaps it will be re-implemented in the future, of course, but I haven't heard of any plans...Cheers, Christopher Martin
Yes, I also like to use the key board to maneuver through menus, and got used to the Win key to launch the menu. I spent a bunch of time playing with keyboard types and keyboard shortcuts, and never have been able to get it working in 3.4. You're probably right that it's gone for good. I did notice that I could configure the keyboard shortcuts to use the "menu" key (by itself) to popup the main menu. This is not as good as the Win key, but maybe usable. I wonder why they can configure a single keystroke of the "menu" key, but not the Win key by itself? :(
