I seem to remember that under older versions of KDE there was a way to assign a hotkey to an application so that, for instance, typing Alt-E would summon the Emacs editor. However, I can't find any way of making such an assignment under KDE 3.1. Is it still there -- and if so, where? Paul Abrahams

right klick on KDE menu or execute "kmenuedit". For each application you can define a hotkey (be sure to set your keyboard layout, for example in ControlCenter->Regional settings->Keyboard layout, in order to use special keyboard keys). cu, Jean-Marc

Yed, I finally did that after being told the secret. Too bad there's not a whisper in the help files about where to look for this functionality. Paul
