KDE keyboard shortcut to show taskbar

Question

In case of hiding KDE taskbar by default, how to show taskbar by keyboard shortcut, not by mouse hovering over the bottom of the screen. I seem can't find the keyboard shortcut to show taskbar in the KDE keyboard settings. Is there a shortcut for this?

Answer 1

I'm not totally sure if that suits your needs, but you can define a shortcut for the Application launcher (the menu which opens if you press on the kmenu button in the taskbar).

The necessary steps are as follows:

• press right mouse button on kde button in the taskbar
• choose 'Application launcher settings'
• in the settings dialog set the keyboard shortcut

(This description is tested on KDE 4.9.2 but should work also for other releases).
