Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-07 22:27:39 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In KDE3 when you changed the key, there was sub-dialog for it. Now it is gone, and some sub-pane is drawn. This is regression -- there is no OK, cancel button. There is no visual difference (what is the main dialog and what is the sub-pane). It is more fancy I agree but it is less usable and simply, unclear.

Please, keep it simple -- user wants to change key shortcut? Fine -- show the proper dialog so user with no fear can see only dialog for such change, not hundreds of possible keys.

Not an exact duplicate of bug 166359, but referring to the same area of the same dialogue.

According to that bug, the current partial sub-pane implementation was done for usability reasons. Some discussion there, but no activity since 2010.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
