Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-01-18 17:04:08 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.95) 
OS:                Linux

When saying to a friend like “going to toilet” or something :D I want to be able to switch to Away or busy or something like that quickly, with a shortcut like Meta+Shift+B for busy, A for away and so on. Unfortunately, you cannot bind away statuses to Global shortcuts. And when assigned to a normal shortcut, they don‘t work in chat windows as well.

Reproducible: Always

You can do that using qdbus. Create a shortcut and enter the command:

qdbus org.kde.kopete /Kopete org.kde.Kopete.setOnlineStatus "online"

You can change "online" to "away", "busy", "invisible", "offline"

You can also alternate between "away" and "online" using Ctrl+Alt+W

Well that definitly IS some user friendly way of assigning a shortcut.
(And it‘s a Wontfix, not invalid.)

Comment 3 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-03-18 18:45:47 UTC

I marked it as invalid because there is nothing to fix, the options to do what you want are already there. If we needed to do code something to do it but we decided it is not possible or it would cause more troubles than fixes then that would be a wontfix.

Just a correction, the shortcut to alternate between "away" and "online" is Ctrl+Shift+W.

Okay, thanks for the info.
So I will stick with those dbus things, too good Linux finally is suitable for normal users in 2010, NOT.
