    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.

    • call the command systemsettings
    • select Shortcuts and GesturesCustom ShortcutsEditNewGlobal ShortcutCommand/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

    or (whatever works)

    /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet

    or (whatever works)

    /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/kscreenlocker --forcelock
    • click Apply
    • test it by pressing the Pause key
