[Bug 884141] [NEW] kubuntu does not open kickoff menu with super / "windows" key

[Pho3nix]

Public bug reported:

Okay, this is more like a recommendation, but I think, that it is very useful to have some basics working the same on all operating systems. With Windows, Mac and the classic Ubuntu you can just click the super / "windows" key and then the menu opens, you can type firefox and press enter and it opens.
Well except with KDE. There you have to remember Alt+F1, what I personally was only able to find out after some effort. So I would like to recommend changing or adding this super or "windows" key for opening kickoff menu, so that you can rely on this routine. Would be user friendly I think.
