Description madman 2006-04-09 21:37:13 UTC 
Version:           0.11.1 (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16

Kopete should not use Ctrl-Shift-S as a global shortcut, as it blocks "File->Save as" in many applications, including The GIMP.
Though this shortcut is configurable, it took me quite some time to get to know why I can't use "Save as" in gimp, and thought it's GIMP's fault.

I think using such a shorcut globally is quite dangerous, as many programs use it.

Solution - change the shortcut to something "neutral", probably Ctrl-Shift-W is not used by other programs
Comment 1 Mats Ahlgren 2007-05-24 06:05:36 UTC 
No, don't change it to that. Ctrl-shift-W is another global shortcut used by gnome-terminal, which Kopete usurped, and is just as annoying. There's no way to disable it in Kopete, which is what I'm about to file another bug report for.

*All global shortcuts should be configurable.*

Global shortcut collisions are detected in KDE 4.
