How add shortcut for standby?

Dan-cer · October 30, 2025, 10:30am

Instead of “Close Window” I want to start Standby with hotkey.

How is it done in KDE?

You can make a lot of shortcuts in System settings:

If you want lock the window –> Meta + L

If you want close an application quickly –> Ctrl + Q

If you want close the window –> Alt + F4

You can see all sections and you’ll see a lot of actions to view their shorcuts or to add them. If you want to add a different shortcut click in the arrow and after in Add… button:

Unfortunately, I don’t speak Spanish. However, I have now found the correct command and created a shortcut with it.

cmd: systemctl suspend
key: ALT + Tab (default assignment changed)

Was the last option in screenshot: Suspender. Sorry for no tell you.

But if you go to the section and read all entries of my screenshot in your language, is easy to read it.

My main problem is / was, that my interface is different from yours, not only by language.

I’m on Feren OS with Plasma 5.27.
