Shortcut to open Dolphin?

Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:01 am
Hi, I've been looking around for a way but didn't find one. How can I create a shortcut in KDE to launch Dolphin?

Also, in quicklaunch settings you can give a shortcut, but it doesn't do anything and seems to apply to all icons of that quicklaunch instead of only the Dolphin one?

Basically, what I want is simply that if I press Meta+E, Dolphin opens. What's the way?

Thanks!

Go to the System Settings (Kmenu>Computer>System Settings)
Go into Input Actions.
Right-click in the "Name" area choose New>Global Shortcut>Command/URL
In the "Trigger" Tab assign your keyboard shortcut
In the "Action" tab assign "dolphin"
and Apply :)

There's an even easier way: right click on the application launcher and select "Menu Editor" (or launch kmenuedit), browse to the application (or add a new item) and select a shortcut in the "Advanced" tab.

What it really does is add a shortcut to Input Actions.
