Description:
 ksuperkey allows you to open the application
launcher in KDE Plasma Desktop using the Super key
(also known as the \"Windows key\"). If you hold
down the Super key it will still act as a modifier
key, allowing you to use it for
other keyboard shortcuts.

ksuperkey is a fork of xcape
(https://github.com/alols/xcape), most of the work
was done by the original author Albin Olsson.

Installation
------------

1. Install dependencies. On Ubuntu:

[indent]
    sudo apt-get install gcc make libx11-dev
libxtst-dev
[/indent]

2. Download and extract the tar.gz file (using
e.g. Ark).

3. Go to the newly extracted directory called
ksuperkey, open a terminal (press F4 in Dolphin),
and run:
[indent]
make
[/indent]

3. Launch ksuperkey:
[indent]
./ksuperkey
[/indent]
or by clicking on its icon. ksuperkey will run in
the background.

4. Try to press the Super key. If the application
launcher does not show up, make sure that its
shortcut is set to Alt+F1:
right click on the application launcher icon ->
Application Launcher Settings -> Keyboard
Shortcut.

5. (optionally) Make ksuperkey autostart in System
Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Autostart ->
Add Program... -> Browse button -> select the
ksuperkey application.

Troubleshooting
---------------

1. ksuperkey does not work.

[indent]
Make sure that ksuperkey is running (see e.g. the
system monitor, Ctrl+Escape).

Also make sure that the keyboard shortcut for the
application launcher is set to Alt+F1, see 4.
under Installation.
