Description Mohd Asif Ali Rizwaan 2011-01-14 08:30:41 UTC

Version:           0.4 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

I want to bind speedcrunch to Calculator key on my multimedia keyboard.

But when I assign "calculator" key, I see "Launch (1)" instead of "Calculator" key.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open kmenuedit, assign 'calculator' key in the keyboard to any application. 
2. though it takes the calculator key as 'launch (1)' but it won't work

Actual Results:  
3. assigned key doesn't work

Expected Results:  
the application shortcut should have been launched by the assigned key.

Solution: (which works for advanced users) at kde forum

In both files I had to replace "Launch (1)" with "Calculator". Oddly enough I had to replace it with "Calculator", though the terminal application xev actually indicates the name "XF86Calculator" for that key.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.36-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

This is why it appears as 'Launch (1)' although it doesn't explain why it then doesn't work

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qt.html#Key-enum says:

Qt::Key_Launch1	0x010000a3	On X11 this key is mapped to "Calculator" (XF86XK_Calculator) key for legacy reasons.

Reproduced on openSUSE, not Arch specific
