Version: 2.1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs OS: Linux (This request may apply on the KDE base but I got this issue when configuring kdevelop so therefore it's here) Imagine this situation: When configuring keyboard shortcuts I select an action (say ABC) from the menu and say I want assign a keyboard shortcut. Then I press the shortcut and it says "this key combination is allocated to XYZ action, please choose an unique key combination [Cancel]". Now I must manually search for the action XYZ (sometimes in different section of KDE) and cancel it's shortcut to be able to set the shortcut to the action I want. I would like an [Reclaim] button on the dialog box saying "this key combination is allocated to XYZ". When I press the [Reclaim] button, the application (or KDE or whoever is handling the keyboard shortcuts) skould set the XYZ action's keyboard shortcut to "None" and then set the selected keyboard shortcut to the action ABC. When I don't want this, I simply press [Cancel].
I think this is a wishlist item for the KControl people. Reassigning.
I want to add some more wishes to this wishlist: Button [Swap], which will swap keyboard shortcut allocations between ABC and XYZ and button [Set & Claim], which will allocate the selected shortcut to ABC and then open a dialog window asking for reclaiming the keyboard shortcut XYZ (if this dialog window is cancelled, the shortcut should be set to None (or Default if the default shortcut is free)).
It doesn't help much to reassign bug to another product without reassigning it also to its maintainer.
I've committed what's requested in the original bugreport. Comment #2 seems to be way too much to me, I'll leave it up to the maintainer whether to close it or implement it.

Someone else had already tried tackling this one, but the patch would have create other problems because it didn't properly distinguish between global shortcuts, general application shortcuts, and application-specific shortcuts. E.g., we don't want Ctrl+C to be cleared in kdeglobals when someone assigned Ctrl+C to "Capture" in some board game. I'm sure you've considered such things, but I'd still like to take a look. ;) Regards, Ellis
