Description MaxAuthority 2005-03-07 23:07:42 UTC
Version:           3.4 (using KDE 3.4.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10

Some months ago, setting single-key shortcuts like 'J' or 'K' stopped working in the Configure Shortcuts... dialog with this error message:

In order to use the 'j' key as a shortcut, it must be combined with the Win, Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift keys.

I think it was due to a change that writing some letter will start a new event, but everybody who sets single-key shortcuts, knows that setting single-key shorcuts will partly break this feature, so what's the reason for disabling this feature?

So I needed to change my korganizerui.rc manually, which is not very user friendly in my opinion. Just setting 'bool bAllowLetterShortcuts=true' in the KKeyChooser should solve the problem, in my opinion.

On my FreeBSD 6.x machine I just upgraded to KDE 3.4 and was disappointed to find that the Windows key -> "popup launch menu" key association no longer worked, and that I was unable to reset it.

It would be nice to be able to use the windows key as a single-key shortcut once again.

Mike: the Windows key support was a hack and very bad one at that. It caused a lot of problems. That's why it was removed.

If you want to use it again, program your X to have the Windows key be a non-modifier.

Another thing: this bug is totally unrelated to that.
