The Linux Experiment

I'm Nick, and I like to tinker with Linux stuff. I'll bumble through distro reviews, tutorials, and general helpful tidbits and impressions on Linux desktop environments, applications, and news. You might see a bit of Linux gaming here and there, and some more personal opinion pieces, but in the end, it's more or less all about Linux and FOSS ! If you want to stay up to snuff, follow me on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@thelinuxEXP If you can, consider supporting the channel here: https://www.patreon.com/thelinuxexperiment

Commands I showed in the video:

Set krunner to open with the Super key: kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.krunner,/App,,toggleDisplay"

Apply the changes (needs dbus, ovbiously): qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

List all the things you can trigger with a shortcut: qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.shortcutNames

Set the thing you want to open with the Super key:

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,NAME_OF_THE_THING_YOU_WANT_TO_OPEN"
