Windows key to search through apps or bring up the main menu

Is there a way to have the Super-L / windows key bring up the app menu / search? Thankyou! I created a folder ~/.config/labwc and a file rc.xml but can’t seem to have anything I put into it work.

This is probably technically doable (hint: configure the key to run dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher /global_key_shortcuts/panel/fancymenu2/show_hide org.lxqt.global_key_shortcuts.client.activated), but if you do this, the search bar won’t work until you close and re-open the menu with the mouse, so it’s not actually useful. This will hopefully be better in Kicksecure 19, when we get an updated LXQt version.

Admittedly as one that has to use and interact with Windows from time to time not by choice (work). Going back and forth to linux I find the superkey for the submenu that has all the apps with thier registered .desktop catagories. I would find this extremely useful if this was the default.

Is that what this does? :slight_smile:
