I somehow only discovered recently that in KDE, typing without a window

in focus (so, typing at the desktop I guess) does the same thing: opens

up a temporary command line so you can run something without an open

terminal.  So now I do this a lot.



But, less mousing makes me happy too - there's probably a way to map an

otherwise useless key (like the windows one) to save me having to mouse

over the desktop to do this.



Never thought I'd be wanting to steal a gnome3 thing!
