Description Adam Spiers 2008-10-27 10:27:26 UTC
Version:           4.1.0 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

In korganizer 3.5, I could bind shortcuts to letters, numbers, punctuation etc.  The new style of dialog window brought up by Settings > Configure Shortcuts doesn't let me do this: if I click on Custom and type one of these keys nothing happens.

This looks similar to bug #101064 except that

  - #101064 applied to korganizer 3.4
  - In 3.4, apparently it would pop up an error dialog saying something like "In order to use the 'j' key as a shortcut, it must be combined with the Win, Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift keys."  

In 4.1.0, there is no such warning.  Even if there was, I think it would be unjustified because my existing key bindings (inherited from an upgrade from KDE 3.5) already have 'M' bound to month view, 'D' bound to day view etc. and they work just fine.

In case it's of use, my ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/korganizerui.rc finishes with:

 <ActionProperties>
  <Action shortcut="Right" name="go_next" />
  <Action shortcut="Left" name="go_previous" />
  <Action shortcut="Period" name="go_today" />
  <Action icon="reload" name="update" />
  <Action shortcut="D" name="view_day" />
  <Action shortcut="L" name="view_list" />
  <Action shortcut="M" name="view_month" />
  <Action shortcut="3" name="view_nextx" />
  <Action shortcut="W" name="view_week" />
  <Action shortcut="5" name="view_workweek" />
 </ActionProperties>
</kpartgui>

I guess I can edit this manually but this solution is obviously not ideal for most users.

The fix will be in KDE 4.2 and above.
