Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux When you try to set a global shortcut like Win+C, it is impossible to set. In the small dialog to set the key for the shortcut, if you try to press Win+C, it put as shorcut only C. In the application shortcut it works well. Verified with 3.5.2 and 3.5.3.
I can't seem to reproduce this. Can you give specific steps to reproduce the problem?
After further investigation, the problem appears when you try to assign a shortcut that is assigned to another action. For example, in amarok the combination Win+C is assigned to Pause, I want to assign to Play/Pause, I edit the Pause action and remove the Win+C shortcut for Pause, after that, I edit the Play/Pause action and I cannot assign the Win+C shortcut, I need to Accept the first change and AFTER that I can assign the short cut to the new action. Sorry for the initial mistake.
It is not KDE-related report, only amarok (at best). I say at best because I cannot see the behavior you described.
Reassigning so the amarok guys can take a look.
You can't set the shotcut because it's actually being used. When you try to hit Win+C it actually does the thing assigned to Win+C (i.e. Pause). Only solution for that would be if the Global Shortcuts would be deactivated while you're in the editing window. I'll toss the bug over to kdelibs, guess it needs to be fixed there ;-)
Here using: Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy 958974) KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428)) kdelibs svn rev. 960693 / kdebase svn rev. 960693 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1 Just testing with KMix global shortcuts. - The "capture widget" allows to capture a shortcut which is already assiged to another action and do not trigger this action. It also detects existing conflicts so you can resolve it properly. (deassigning and reassigning to the new action or forgetting the change)
Chani (Plasma developer) has also confirmed this is working on KDE4 trunk Closing as WORKSFORME
