Description Aaron Williams 2003-02-04 04:05:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3 sparc solaris 2.7
OS:          Solaris

I cannot use ctrl-B in any application, even non-KDE apps.  It does not work for konsole, xterm, xemacs, or any other program I tried.  I remapped the add bookmark key to A-b to see if that changed anything.  It did not.  I also added some experimental bookmark patches to remove all traces of ^B from konsole and that didn't work.  I think the problem is deeper than that, since ^B does not work for any application.  kwin, possibly?

Or X? Find out: kill kwin, start twm and try.

The problem is not in X, but in kwin.  If I kill kwin and run twm then 
Ctrl B works.

Subject: Re:  ctrl-b does not work in any application

After compiling a debug version of kwin, I see the following when I type 
Ctrl B:

kdecore (KAccel): Workspace::keyPress( Ctrl+B )

It looks like somehow kwin is capturing all Ctrl B key presses.  I 
cannot find where it is getting assigned.
