"Activate kicker" ??? Which app/shortcut is that? We are talking kde 4 here? Well, the button to bring up the KDE menu (usually called the "kicker"). I think it's ALT+F1 by default. I changed it and it reverted back to default after restart. So we are talking "Plasma Workspace" -> "Activate Application Launcher Widget" here? (execute "kcmshell4 keys" from a shell"). How did you change it? In "systemsettings" -> "keyboard & mouse" -> "Global Shortcuts" (same as the command above). Or from "Application Launcher Settings" (right click on the menu button). If i should fix that bug for you, you have to give more and exact information what you did. If not i only can ignore this bug because i have no idea what you did and how to reproduce. Just saying xyz doesn't work won't help me help you. 1. Make a copy of ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc as kglobalshortsrc.1 2. Change the shortcut and tell me exactly how you did it. 3. Make a copy of ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc as kglobalshortsrc.2 4. Relogin. 5. If the shortcut change is gone again Make a copy of ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc as kglobalshortsrc.3 6. Send all three files to me: kde (at) michael-jansen.biz Keep cool. I'm just trying to help here myself. I'm talking about changing the shortcut at: System Settings --> Keyboard & Mouse --> Global Keyboard Shortcuts --> Component Plasma Workspace --> Activate Application Launcher Widget. I will attach all three required files here in a minute. OK, here it is: the diff is simply: 20:50 % diff kglobalshortcutsrc.1 kglobalshortcutsrc.2 ~ 242c242 < activate widget 5=Alt+F1,Alt+F1,Activate Application Launcher Widget --- > activate widget 5=Meta+Space,Alt+F1,Activate Application Launcher Widget 20:50 % diff kglobalshortcutsrc.1 kglobalshortcutsrc.3 20:50 % diff kglobalshortcutsrc.2 kglobalshortcutsrc.3 242c242 < activate widget 5=Meta+Space,Alt+F1,Activate Application Launcher Widget --- > activate widget 5=Alt+F1,Alt+F1,Activate Application Launcher Widget But I will attach the three files here as well for convenience.

After rebooting and losing the change
I can confirm this bug. I tried to change the shortcut for summoning Klipper's history menu from ctrl+alt+v to meta+v. It stuck around for as long as my present session, but when I logged out and in again, it was back to ctrl+alt+v. It happens that ctrl+alt+v is *also* the shortcut for "scroll other window" in emacs, which I use. So this bug is rather inconvenient. I am still seeing this in 4.6.0 on opensuse 11.4. *** Bug 288337 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** You have to change/remove the shortcut in Plasma, otherwise it will get added on every reboot. For example to change the Klipper shortcut: Right-click system tray expander arrow > System Tray Settings > Entries *** Bug 305058 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 317332 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I don't understand why this bug is marked resolved as invalid. The bug is that you can disable a keyboard shortcut in systems settings, and it is restored after a restart. Comment 12 is the workaround that if you also disable it in the system tray settings, then things will work as designed. That is a workaround and not a solution. The solution would be to make system settings behave as expected. That said, thanks for the workaround. Maybe now I won't have to reset my shortcut every time I restart kded, something I have to do relatively frequently. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 300532 *** |
