Description J. Lucha 2004-01-30 19:12:08 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:          Linux

I was previously running KDE 3.0, and entries in khotkeysrc with MenuEntry=false would run the program specified in the Run= parameter.  I've upgraded distributions, and they no longer work.  I'm using SuSE 9.0 which ships with KDE 3.1.4.  Just to make sure it wasn't a SuSE "feature", I tried it on Fedora which also ships with 3.1.4, and it doesn't work there either.

Items marked with MenuEntry=true work with the defined hotkey combination.

Here is an example khotkeysrc:

--------------------------------
[Main]
Num_Sections=3
Version=1

[Section1]
MenuEntry=true
Name=K Menu - Utilities/kate.desktop
Run=Editors/kate.desktop
Shortcut=Alt+Ctrl+N

[Section2]
MenuEntry=true
Name=K Menu - System/konsole.desktop
Run=System/konsole.desktop
Shortcut=Alt+Ctrl+K

[Section3]
MenuEntry=false
Name=Default Web Browser
Run=/usr/bin/mozilla
Shortcut=Alt+Ctrl+B

---------------------------------------------


The above is a simplified example, and the easy solution would be to just make the hotkey point to a valid menu entry.  But I have lots of hotkeys, that I do not want to create menu entries for, because I don't want a massivly cluttered application menu.

Oops. This bug will be even in KDE3.2.0 :(. I've fixed it for 3.2.1. I'm afraid there will be no fix for KDE3.1.x, as there are no plans for releases in that branch, sorry.
