Description Randy Roberts 2000-10-19 23:03:23 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: KDE Control Center
Version: 1.0

Symptom:

-I get completely dumped out of X windows and returned to a shell
prompt.
-KDE/X is still running
- I have to use 'ctrl + c' to kill X windows and return control to tty1.

Cause:

Using the assigned keyboard shortcut 'ctrl + alt + F3'

Steps:

step: Invoke KDE Control Center from System menu
step: choose '&Keyboard Shortcuts'
step: choose '&Global Keys'
step: select 'Window operations menu' from the 'Action' listbox
step: select the 'Custom key' radio button
step: assign the following value to the command action:  'ctrl + alt +
F3'

step: click the 'Apply' button
step: click the 'Ok' button

step: open an application and use the 'ctrl + alt + F3'  shortcut


I am using  RedHat 6.2 kernel version linux-2.2.14  and libc6

Is this really KDE version 1.0 ?

Now try to unset the shortcut and try the same key combination :
same result. It doesn't come from KDE.

This is a _standard_ setup on linux systems : Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 maps to
"switch to text mode". Use Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or F8 depending on the distribution)
to switch back to graphical mode.

No bug here sorry. To disable those shortcuts look into X's documentation=
 -
I'm not sure it can be done but I think so.

You know that Ctrl-Alt-F3 is the key accelerator for switching to
terminal 3 under X and that you can't change it because it's X?
Try C-A-F7 after you switched to the terminal

Pedantic quibble -- C-A-F<n> switching is Linux console not X or even=20
XFree86 and doesn't apply on other systems (Solaris Tru 64 etc). Not=20
that that alters the fact that it's not available to Kcontrol.
