Description Carsten Schlipf 2008-09-05 15:40:20 UTC

Version:           0.8 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic

I have assigned the shortcut WIN + B to the firefox application using the KDE Menu Editor on the Advanced Tab of the Firefox item.

However this has no effect. I can't start Firefox through the shortcut.

The same applies to all other shortcuts I set in the KDE Menu Editor - none is working.

Comment 1 Thilo-Alexander Ginkel 2008-09-07 23:24:15 UTC

I can confirm this issue, which is reproducable on multiple machines running KDE 4.1.0 and KDE 4.1.1 - keyboard shortcuts assigned to menu entries seem to have no effect at all.

Comment 2 Michael Jansen 2008-09-18 19:32:15 UTC

That's correct, This will work again in KDE 4.2. Fixed with commit 862344

I can't reproduce this with 4.3. It's still working after the upgrade from KDE 4.2.

I posted a workaround in this report which should make it easier to track down the problem... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198155#c4

There is definitely a problem somewhere.  Only thing I may have done differently was I changed the menu to classic view before I tried any shortcuts.  But after that, I tried changing back to the new menu and still got the same results.  Thanks for looking.

Comment 7 Andreas Weber 2009-08-12 22:29:42 UTC

This bug is exactly what is still present in 4.3.0-1 (used from Debian unstable). I'm using the classic menu style and the script mentioned fixed my problem. Thanks for that BTW.

Comment 10 Ian Porter 2010-03-23 12:56:39 UTC

I am using kubuntu 10.4 with KDE 4.4.1 and cannot appear to use the khotkeys .. just wondering if there was a option within the system settings that I have not turned on.. it used to work in KDE 4.3

Comment 11 Michael Jansen 2010-04-11 20:24:47 UTC

@Ian Porter: I don't understand the problem you have. Tell exactly what you are trying to achieve.

Comment 12 dE 2011-04-24 05:37:16 UTC

This still doesn't work in KDE 4.4.5.
