Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: SuSE RPMs The most clear case is Kate here. The problem with embedding external app is to being able to (or not) automatically follow any changes in the "source" application. Today I changed the "move to matching bracket" from ctrl+6 to ctrl+(. In kate. Kdevelop, kile, (KMail in future I hope) use kate, but I have to go to all those apps and redefine this key again. So the idea: reference to a setting. Let's say that by default in Kdevelop "move to..." was a reference, and in Kile it was not. So when I changed it in Kate, the change was "transferred" to Kdevelop but the flag "reference" was kept. In kile ctrl+6 would remained the same. What's more, I could run Kile and set ctrl+( as in Kate, or I could turn on "reference". The shortcut would be the same but behaviour would be different -- in the former case any other change in Kate would not be seen in Kile, while in the latter -- it would be. This would be extremely useful for changing shortcuts in one app (kate) but in such way that those changes are made to all apps that uses Kate.
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. 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.
