Description Pavel Bazika 2008-03-13 17:41:38 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.2 
OS:                Linux

Some keyboard shortcuts doesn't work. For example Alt-Tab, Alt-F4 etc. When I'm in configuration dialog, key combination is detected and assigned. But it doesn't work after successful configuration.
I'm using evdev managed keyboard, which I set in system settings/ regional and language/keyboard layout. My X11 keyboard configuration is:

Driver          "evdev"
Option          "Name"  "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
Option          "XkbLayout" "us,cz"
Option          "XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option          "XkbModel"      "evdev"
Option          "XkbKeycodes"   "evdev"

I have this problem in 4.x KDE series, in 3.5.x it works just fine. When I run xev, it shows right key names, Alt_L has keycode 64, Tab 23.
When I try to press Alt-Tab while writing this text, it adds one tab in the text. When I do it in listbox, it acts as down arrow.

One more note: When I have a File menu in window for example and press alt+F, menu is shown. So Alt works in this case.

Not a KWin bug as it affects non-KWin shortcuts. Possibly an incorrectly configured X or keyboard layout.
Comment 3 Pavel Bazika 2009-05-03 23:23:44 UTC 
It works in 4.2.2 just fine, so it seems this issue is resolved. X configuration is the same as before.
