Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages The file menu selection for setting away globally shows that Alt+Ctrl+A can be used as a shortcut. First thing is that the sequence does not work, i.e. nothing happens. The second thing is that the Handbook (both web and application based) indicates that the proper shortcut sequence for setting away globally is Ctrl+Alt+Q. This does not work either. PLease fix either by removing the shortcut sequence from the menu and the Handbook or properly implementing it and properly documenting it.
The Ctrl+Alt+Q shortcut was probably used in konversation 0.18, which is what the handbook was written for (and it needs to be updated, really). Ctrl+Alt+A is a default (for Kubuntu at least) kwin global shortcut for "Activate Window Demanding Attention" and therefor, takes precedence over the shortcut in konversation.
