Description Sasha Unspecified 2009-12-30 09:06:27 UTC

Version:           0.99.80 (using 4.3.85 (KDE 4.3.85 (KDE 4.4 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-16-generic

The default global shortcuts for "Set Away/Back" conflicts with shortcut for closing a tab in Konsole (and may be in other apps too).
IMHO, all kopete global shortcut defaults are too simple for being global shortcuts. Shift+Ctrl+SomeLetter isn't enough for global shortcut -- such combinations are very often used inside apps. Maybe should use Ctrl+Alt+SomeLetter or Shift+Alt+SomeLetter or even Shift+Ctrl+Alt+SomeLetter as global shortcuts defaults?

Ok, forget the "IMHO, all kopete global shortcut defaults are too simple [...]".
However, please make another default for "Set Away/Back" (Konsole is too often used to let kopete conflicting with its shortcuts).

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
