Description Rolf Eike Beer 2011-06-12 15:56:34 UTC

Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

I would love to assign Alt-Left to "Go back in context history" so navigation there works like in a browser. But since those buttons do not have their own actions this is not possible.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-12-desktop
Compiler: gcc

Settings > Configure Shortcuts > Search "Visited Context".
That'll give you "Next Visited Context" and "Previous Visited Context"
Currently they are set to Meta+Right and Meta+Left.

So, invalid bug, but I'm going to propose changing the defaults to Alt+{Left+Right}, I think.

What is the status of this proposal?

I was about to submit similar ticket, and I found this one. I hope it's OK to hijack it.

Discussed on the ML. The problem is that Alt is the magic contextual navigation key, and Alt+Arrows allow jumping around in the contextual navigation box.
Unfortunately we need an acceptable solution that doesn't break that. It's going to take some work to change the rather deeply hardcoded Alt behavior, but I'd be glad to see it done.

Thanks for the explanation. I look forward to shortcuts cleanup.
