Description Christoph Lange 2009-02-02 15:39:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:           gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I assigned Meta+Shift+Space as a shortcut for the action "set window shortcut" (which is usually available in the "advanced" window menu).  I would like to define window shortcuts by using the keyboard only, which used to work in KDE 3.5 but no longer does in 4.2.  When I execute "set window shortcut", no button in the small popup is focused.  I am able to focus the button for defining the shortcut by pressing Shift+Tab twice, and then I can push it down using Space, and then I can hit the desired shortcut.  Then, however, ...

* the shortcut is not yet defined for the window
* the popup stays open
* the input focus is no longer in the popup but in the client area of the window
* certain global keyboard shortcuts (like Alt+Tab) no longer work

The only way of finally setting the shortcut and closing the popup is by clicking "OK" with the mouse.
