Description Peter Rockai 2008-05-29 13:37:08 UTC 
In 4.1 beta 1 (not available in the version list here), I cannot use ^H for 
backspace anymore (this used to work in 3.5.9, which makes this a regression). 
^W has never worked AFAIR, but would be nice either way.
Comment 1 Peter Rockai 2008-05-29 15:30:17 UTC 
This actually appears to be a Qt regression from 3.x to 4.x, wrt. ^H. If anyone more knowledgeable of how this works in Qt could forward, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
Comment 2 Guillaume Pujol 2008-05-29 16:49:16 UTC 
^W (Ctrl+W) is already used to close the current document in most KDE apps, so it is not a good idea to make it erase the last word.

But it would be nice to have ^U to erase the current line when typing in a simple TextBox.
Comment 3 Peter Rockai 2008-07-02 16:06:49 UTC 
How come? Application shortcuts take precedence, so I don't think that is a problem, really.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
