Hi,

Any one else using Triskel 8? How do you set custom keyboard shortcuts? All the online guides say go to System Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts then click add. The problem is, that menu does not exist in my system settings.

When facing other issues of missing menus, the solution was to install some package to get access to that menu. So I'm wondering if there is some missing package that will unlock this menu. Any ideas anyone?

TBH, I'd even be happy with a workaround. What I'm ultimately trying to do is assign keyboard shortcuts to open a terminal (konsole) and the system monitor as I use these a lot and it's really tedious having to use a mouse to click on my launchers.

NB: I've already asked on the KDE forum (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=154123&p=404442#p404333) and they suggested asking here.

Many thanks,
Steve

First I'd make sure that you have all desktop components by reinstalling
the triskel metapackage.

$ sudo apt install triskel

If you are missing the program that edits keyboard shortcuts, it should
be installed by the triskel metapackage. If that doesn't work, I would
next try to figure out the name of that program. For example, the
"Keyboard Shortcuts" menu in MATE is a program called
mate-keybinding-properties.
