Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: gcc-3.2.2-5 OS: Linux I'm trying to get shift-insert to paste the selection, rather than the clipboard. The file README.KeyTab indicates that I should be able to do this by having something like: key Insert+Shift -Control : emitSelection in a custom keytab file. I tried this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I created other keymappings in the same keytab file, and they work correctly, but it appears that I can't change the meaning of shift-insert.
Created attachment 2084 [details] Keytab file that I'm trying to get working This is the latest version of the keytab file that I can't seem to get working. Note that the remapping of backspace and delete work as they should, but the remapping of shift-insert doesn't work for me.
Your attached keytab works fine for me with KDE 3.1.3.
I finally figured out what was causing this to fail for me. I'm including the solution here to hopefully spare others the pain and suffering caused by shift-insert doing the wrong thing: It turns out that in addition to the keytab file, konsole also has a "Configure Shortcuts" dialog. In this dialog, "Paste" (ie: paste clipboard) was bound to Shift-Insert. It turns out that the settings in this dialog takes precendence over the contents of the keytab file. (why there are two overlapping and conflicting mechanisms for doing the same thing, I don't know...) You can get to the dialog by right-clicking on konsole, and going to "Settings" and then "Configure Shortcuts...". Make sure "Paste" is bound to "None".
