Is there a way to enable Ubuntu Keyboard shortcuts in Kubuntu?

Question

I like to have default Ubuntu shortcuts available in my Kubuntu, but I don't want to assign them all manually, I mean a way to import them from Ubuntu.

For Example I want ^+Meta+T which opens the Terminal or ^+Meta+NumPad to resize windows.

I think you have to assign them manually. As far as I know there is no such possibility to import the Ubuntu keyboard shortcuts directly.

But I had a similar problem creating a keyboard shortcut(ksc) to open my konsole with the ksc Control+Alt+t so I started searching and came up with the following solution:

1. Open a terminal and enter following commands
   

   sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xautomation

2. Create a file named .xbindkeysrc in your home folder
   

   kate ~/.xbindkeysrc

3. Copy and paste following content to open your terminal with the ksc Control+Alt+t and after that save and close the file.
   

   "konsole"
   Control+Alt + t

4. Start xbindkeys
   

   xbindkeys

5. Press Control+Alt+t to find out if the ksc is working
6. If the command is working add xbindkeys to Autostart
   

   cd ~/.kde/Autostart/
   ln -s /usr/bin/xbindkeys xbindkeys

If you want to find out the name of a key, just enter following command in the terminal

xbindkeys -k

and press any key or combination.

there is an easier solution using KDE native configuration tools here:
