Description Magnes 2009-05-24 21:59:30 UTC

Version:           2.0.90 (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-12-generic

The title says all. I use Super+z with xbindkeys but Amarok binded this combination to its action. I can't turn it off. There need be a preference for this.

Comment 1 Mark Kretschmann 2009-05-24 22:09:07 UTC

That's all nice and dandy, but Amarok behaves like any other KDE application in this regard. Take it up with the KDE developers instead.

Also, you can very well disable shortcuts in the "Configure Shortcuts..." dialog.

Comment 2 Magnes 2009-05-24 22:21:32 UTC

In Configure Shortcuts there is no shortcut set to Super+z but hitting Super+z causes Amarok to jump to previous song. So there is something wrong with Amarok I think. And it's something new. I didn't have this problem before.

Comment 3 Magnes 2009-05-24 22:24:40 UTC

Also when I try to set in Configure Shortcuts Super+z to Previous Song (I was testing) I got a message that it collides with Meta+z (Super is Meta I suppose) for... Previous Song. Like it was already set. Setting it to something else didn't help.

Comment 4 Magnes 2009-05-24 22:26:42 UTC

And please open this bug, because it's not resolved. And it's not upstream - it's definitely something wrong with Configure Shortcuts in Amarok.

Comment 5 Magnes 2009-05-24 22:31:33 UTC

It's probably related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192712

Comment 6 Daniel Hahler 2009-05-24 22:34:59 UTC

Firstly, I'm changing this to "Invalid" instead (as per #kde-bugs and considering that it can be configured).

Secondly, there should be a tab "Global" in "Configure Shortcuts", and it defaults to Meta/Super+Z with me.

I'm using KDE4.3b1 and Amarok 2.1b2 (from Kubuntu Karmic), maybe global shortcuts are not available in 4.2.3?

Comment 7 Magnes 2009-05-24 22:43:18 UTC

The global column is there but it doesn't fit in the window (maybe in some languages only) - you need to scroll horizontally to find it. Maybe the window should be wider?

Thanks for help. Sorry for so many posts. The submiter of the other bug (and many duplicates) - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192712 - had probably the same problem (didn't notice the global column).

Comment 8 Daniel Hahler 2009-05-25 21:34:05 UTC

Magnes, thanks for reporting back and making clear what the real problem is.

Can you please file a new bug report for this (if there is none yet), against kdelibs apparently, and include a screenshot?
