Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux Go to System Settings in KDE, setup a global shortcut in khotkeys, for Calculator media key on keyboard to launch the Calculator application on keypress. It will display "Launch(1)" as the recognized key, but the Calculator app won't be launched. Oddly enough, "My computer" media key, which displays as Launch(0) works as expected. So, I followed this forum post and I finally have my Calculator key working :) So here it is: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=837944 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to System Settings in KDE, setup a global shortcut in khotkeys, for Calculator media key on keyboard, it will display Launch(1) but the app won't be launched.
