It's a modifier key (like alt, ctrl etc) so I use mine to make app
shortcuts that (in my experience) won't interfere with anything else. For
example win+c runs calculator, win+k for konqueror win+f for firefox etc.
These can be used safely anytime, as nothing else uses the key.
To actually set up the keys right-click on the k menu button and choose
edit menu, choose your app, and set a keystroke. Then hit Apply.
Have fun.
