Hi,
In configuration of Desktop KDE 4.x/All Effects shortcuts appears the term meta, what means it and how can I activated?
It depends a bit on your keyboard layout, but usually, "meta" is the "alt" key on your keyboard

How can I know what the key is the meta?
Run 'xev' For my keyboard ("PC Sunshine KB-6868 105 key (XFree86; US)") the Shift-Alt keys act as Meta-L and Meta-R KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881388899, (173,-12), root:(884,502), state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881389372, (173,-12), root:(884,502), state 0x11, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe7, Meta_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881392928, (173,-12), root:(884,502), state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881394743, (173,-12), root:(884,502), state 0x11, keycode 113 (keysym 0xffe8, Meta_R), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Without Shift the keys are just Alt-L and Alt-R KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881566636, (404,179), root:(1115,693), state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 2881568535, (404,179), root:(1115,693), state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xffea, Alt_R), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Notice that the keycodes stay the same with or without Shift, but the keysym values change.
