How to set win + E shortcut for dolphin file browser


I have installed Dolphin file browser(dolphin 18.12.3) on plasma(5.15.2) (ArchLinux). I would like to know how to set win + E (meta + E) shortcut to launch Dolphin browser. I already tried setting it as shortcut in System Settings->Global Shortcuts->Application Launchers. But shortcut is not working as expected. Is there an other way to set it up? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.


Solution

    • right-click launcher/start button in panel
    • select Edit Applications, the KDE Menu Editor opens
    • find Dolphin in System folder in the tree view and select it
    • switch to Advanced tab
    • click on the None button for Current shortcut key to record a different key
    • hit Meta+E keys, it should appear in the button
    • click Save in toolbar and done!
