Description Mark Bucciarelli 2005-01-13 14:30:43 UTC

Version:           0.14 (using KDE 3.2.3,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040422)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26-1-386

I've modified the short cut key for "Next Tab" to be "Shift+Right" and the one for "Previous Tab" to be "Shift+Left".

However, when I am in the main Konversation window, and press Shift+Left of Shift+Right, nothing happens.

BTW, these are the default shortcuts for Konsole, it would be very nice if Konversation used this as a default.

I suspect Shift-Left/Right is taken by some other part in Konversation mainwindow. Need to debug this.

Yeah, select text in the edit box.

Bingo.  if I put the focus in the nick list, shift+left works.

But only once, as after moving tabs the focus goes back to the edit box.

Yuck.

It's really nice to have tab rolling consistent between Konsole, Konq and 
Konversation.  Maybe I need to teach myself another set of keyboard 
shortcuts for all three. :(

Is it possible to disable the assignment of shift+left in shortcut key 
dialog?

That behaviour is only possible because Konsole uses GNU Readline key bindings 
instead of standard ones. Shift-Left and Shift-Right are used for making text 
selections in GUI applications.

This can't be implemented without an ugly hack.
