Example, I want to have the text "thisshouldbereadable" being typed when I press a certain shortcut. In "khotkeys", I enter: T:h:i:s:S:h:o:u:l:d:B:e:R:e:a:d:a:b:l:e And when I press the shortcut, I get: thhissoullddbbeeeraa Not exactly what I wanted... Any ideas?

Why does KHotKeys groups same characters together? Add the moment KHotKeys is only useful for 1:1 replacements, which normally (except for the gestures) is already included in the kde applications itself. Michael 248961 2 gschintgen 2004-07-15 11:24:03 +0000 I just wanted to report my problems with the tab character. A:Tab:B gives me "a b" whereas A:Tab:Tab:B results in "ab". This is reproducible for me in KDE 3.2.2. Also A:Tab:B:Tab:C doesn't work as intended (abc). I don't know if I should report this as a separate bug. 256568 3 l.lunak 2004-08-06 18:45:54 +0000 Qt bug. 262093 4 bugzilla 2004-08-24 23:48:05 +0000 This problem seems to exist in BOTH KDE 3.2 and the newly released KDE 3.3. KHotKeys- Keyboard Shortcut->Keyboard Input (simple) The hot key defined in the example HELLO works seemingly fine, but upon changing the keyboard input settings from Shift+H:E:L:L:O to Shift+H:E:L:L:O:H:E:N:S, the result is grouped, with ANY repeated letters (in this case H and E) grouped together at the first letter's occurrence. The result is: HHeellons Shift+H:E:L:L:O:H:E:L:L produces HHeellllo, with the 4 l's grouped together, the 2 H's, matching the Shift+H in case, and the 2 e's. and Shift+H:E:L:L:O:A:B:C:D:E:F:G:H:I:J:K:L:M:N:O:P:Q produces HHeelllooabcdfgijkmnpq (notice 3 l's and the missing alphabet letters, now rearranged so they are grouped with each letter's respective first occurrence.)
