With KDE you can set any key or a combination of keys to trigger an action on your computer. As an example: when I pause my work I want to lock my screen with the Pause key so my colleagues cannot baggy-pants me. Here is how to do that.

Open the System Settings

Select Shortcuts and Gestures → Custom Shortcuts → Edit → New → Global Shortcut → Command/URL and enter Pause

In the Trigger tab, click on None

Press the Pause key

Go to the Action tab

Enter

qdbus org.kde.screensaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.Lock

Click Apply

test it by pressing the Pause key
