Do you experience this issue if you assign the same shortcut in any other application ? (my question is: is this a KWin-related thing, or related to kdelibs instead) ? Thanks I did some more testing. It does not happen with regular shortcuts, but it happens in every program with global shortcuts. However, it does not happen in pre-KDE4 apps (I tested Amarok 1.4 as I still use it) for their global shortcuts. I hope that information is enough to clarify where the bug is. I get this for some keys. For example. Shift+HomePage isn't recognized (the shortcut picker just picks up HomePage, although it does get the "Shift+" temporary text while I hold shift down). Shift+Fxx works, Shift+Media Next doesn't. Shift+AudioForward works and so does Shift+Wireless. Shift+Launch Mail doesn't. I note that this is still "unconfirmed" after four months. I have experienced this problem in 4.3.3 on SuSE 11.1 and 4.3.2 on FC10. To duplicate try: Global Keyboard Shortcuts / KWIN / Window to Desktop 2 / Custom / Alt+Shift+2 / Apply. The sequence is shown as "Alt+@", but entering this sequence on the keyboard is ignored.
I have noted that kglobalshortcutsrc records predefined shortcuts involving the shift key with the word "+Shift" while shortcuts entered interactively are recorded without this keyword, but rather as "Alt+@" etc. I tried export / edit "insert +Shift string" / import but this did not help. A snippet from the imported shortcutsrc is below with "Switch to Desktops 1-4" edited in this way and "Switch to 5,6" unchanged. It doesn't help. All six shortcuts are ignored.
Snippet from export of schema:
[kwin][Global Shortcuts]
[ ... ]
Window to Desktop 1=Alt+Shift+1
Window to Desktop 2=Alt+Shift+2
Window to Desktop 3=Alt+Shift+3
Window to Desktop 4=Alt+Shift+4
Window to Desktop 5=Alt+%
Window to Desktop 6=Alt+^

Pushed by persson into branch 'master'. Fix global shortcuts that include symbols produced with shift key KKeySequenceWidget (used to enter shortcuts) removes shift from the recorded shortcut if the symbol produced from that key is different when shift is used. kglobalaccel needs to include shift in the grab in order to be triggered on this class of shortcuts, and then in the keypress event handler it also needs to strip the shift again before checking which shortcut was just triggered.
