Of course , you can put that command line : setxkbmap -option altwin:meta_alt in the startkde script /usr/bin/startkde exactly 1 line before this other line (line nr.219) : echo 'startkde: Starting up...' 1>&2 This way command line will be executed for all users of your linuxbox when starting up Kde . If you want that command only affect one of the users make a executable shell script ( i.e. called "right_Alt_key" ) and put this script in ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory cd ~/.kde/Autostart/ echo "#! /bin/sh" >> right_Alt_key echo "setxkbmap -option altwin:meta_alt" >> right_Alt_key chmod ug+x right_Alt_key all done,restart kde session to verify > With an advance of thanks, Ciao , Francesco
