Make a KDE shortcut to run the default browser

Question

I am new to KDE and would like to make shortcuts that run default applications. For instance, I like CTRL-ALT-I to open my default browser. I have found that I can create a custom shortcut directly to a specific browser, but I would like it to respect the default browser. I have also tried a custom shortcut to xdg-open http://www.google.com, but this forces a specific page, ignoring the browser's default start page.

What is the "correct" way to do this in KDE?

Answer 1

See KDE: how to detect default browser?

Simply write a script that takes the configured browser's name out of the configuration file and executes it. Assign a global shortcut to this script.
