Description Kurt Hindenburg 2004-02-06 20:18:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice) 
OS:          Linux

Konsole sends any CTRL+<key> to the terminal.  This confuses users who pick CTRL+<key> as a shortcut and wonders why the shortcut doesn't work.  There are over 10+ bugs due to this confusion.
This patch adds a sorry messagebox if the user picks a CTRL+<key> as a shortcut.  CTRL+SHIFT+<key> is O.K.  The patch check both PRI/ALT shortcuts.  
This patch does not alter the shortcuts.

This may not be the best approach; but it is better than nothing.

I put the message text in i18n(); I'm not sure if I have to do anything else.

ok -- but _why_ does it not work (yes, i've seen 61667)?? what's the meaning of this misbehaviour?

It works now and explains why it is a bad idea when you configure them :)

Kurt: thanks for the patch, it was very inspirational

This is behaviour still exists in 3.2.3.
And Konsole doesn't say anything when I try yo use ctrl+<key> as a shortcut.
