1. I tried the kickoff menu typing 'shortcuts' - KCalc – KDE's default calculator. Custom Shortcuts, right-clicked on the box to the left, select New → Global Shortcut → Command/URL. Gave it a name 'Calc', went to Trigger tab, picked a key, then went to Action tab and wrote kcalc there.
2. Settings → Configure Shortcuts... menu. I tried to configure the calculator button from there.
3. I right clicked the desktop and get 3 different choices for a calculator and chose the appropriate simple one I want enter the key under command.
None of these worked. By the way, I would love to know how to configure the Win key to open the KDE Menu.
Thanks for any help - I prefer the simple calculator but will take any, I'm not picky, other keys can come later. I am a little surprised I need to go to this much trouble. I haven't used KDE since Mandrake 9.3. The hardest issue back then was getting Java up and running!

Calculator Button Configuration
I have Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit installed with Unity, Gnome 3.4 and kde - full. I have tried to set up my keyboard. I was able to get the Mute button working, but I have been unable to Configure the Calculator (simple) and Launcher keys. The Ubuntu and askubuntu sites have not been able to help.
Any ideas how to go about this? Thanks.
