In Kmenuedit go to any application and choose Advanced, and there you can do it.

hi Regarding menuDrake, If I add a menu entry and Save. Exit menudrake, reload menu drake the new menu entry has gone and never appears on the KDE menu. Kcontrol Look'n'feel Key Bindings - and look at the bottom you can assign keys, but first you have to mark action in Key Bindings window. I know that is there as I said in original email.

I have also Mandrake 7.2. I know there is the key binding configuration in Control Centre, but this only provides you with predefined shortkey functions and doesn't allow you to add your own.
