Description Technologov 2006-09-02 13:33:54 UTC

Version:           all KDE (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.1 
OS:                Linux

Hi all !

This is Blocker bug (!) for non-English people.

When I use Russian, I cannot use standard keyboard shortcuts for editing like - ctrl + a, (slect all), ctrl + c (copy), ctrl + x(cut), ctrl + v(paste).

This bug makes text editing with software like KWrite, KEdit, Kate and KDevelop virtually impossible for non-English texts.

The problem exists will *all* KDE software on *all* versions of KDE.

tested on: 
1) SUSE Linux 10.0, KDE 3.4.2
2) Mandriva Linux 2007 BETA3, KDE 3.5.4

Current bahavior:
KDE takes ctrl+"a" while "a" is interpreted as english letter.

Correct (fixed) behavior should be:
KDE takes ctrl+"a" while "a" is interpreted as scancode by the kernel while I press ctrl (or alt), so the shortcut will work correctly with all languages.

Also, in Windows it works this way.

Please resolve this blobker bug before KDE 3.5.5 is out !
