Read “[Who Says Penguins Can't Fly?](https://blog.hanschen.org/2015/08/26/ksuperkey-0-4-released/)”, an introduction to ksuperkey 0.4.\r\n\r\n2. Install ksuperkey from a repo of your Linux distribution. For Ubuntu derivatives use [Eugene Mikhantiev Launchpad PPA for ksuperkey](https://launchpad.net/~mehanik/+archive/ubuntu/ksuperkey).\r\n\r\n3. Note the actual key combo you use for launching Albert, example is “Alt_L+Space”.\r\n\r\n4. Start ksuperkey with your Albert key combo as arguments in your terminal, example: “ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|space”. So you should be able to launch Albert with the single Windows key. Further information on this and the syntax used is explained in the [instructions page >> Change Mapping](http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ksuperkey?content=154569) . \r\n\r\n5. You may want to start kspuerkey with arguments automatically on the login to your session, so just add the command you used above , example “ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|space”, to the startup applications of your desktop environment.\r\n\r\nSome remarks:\r\n- Despite its name, ksuperkey works on non-KDE desktop environments like MATE, XFCE, LXDE, Unity, etc.\r\n- For the German speaking audience, there is a good explanation on the wiki of [ubuntuusers.de](https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/KSuperkey/). \r\n- As for as I observed ksuperkey does not interfere with any of the default key mapping of a desktop environment\r\n\r\nIf you know a more elegant or easier way for launching Albert with the single Windows key, just add it in the comments.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nwechsler42\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ManuelSchneid3r/albert/issues/comments/223573852","html_url":"https://github.com/ManuelSchneid3r/albert/issues/201#issuecomment-223573852","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ManuelSchneid3r/albert/issues/201","id":223573852,"user":{"login":"wechsler42","id":19371424,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/19371424?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42","html_url":"https://github.com/wechsler42","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wechsler42/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-03T13:08:10Z","updated_at":"2016-06-03T13:08:10Z","body":"Thanks ManuealSchneid3r for the opportunity.
