More such shortcuts can be created in a similar manner.

These shortcuts can be edited also by double clicking on them to change the command.


Keyboard shortcuts in KDE/plasma

Like XFCE, plasma has a convenient way to create and edit keyboard shortcuts built-in.


Start by opening System Settings and open Shortcuts under Workspace.

Virtually every element of plasma is available on the list. Each Action can have a primary shortcut and an alternate assigned.


To set or change a shortcut simply click on the action you want to change, click on the key combination, press the keys you wish to assign and then click the Apply button.


To add an application to the list, press the + button and then select the application from the menu.
