Description Alex Dănilă 2011-11-11 22:38:19 UTC 
Version:           4.6.5 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Non-KDE4 shortcuts cannot be found in the "shortcuts and gestures" category of SystemSettings. One such example is Amarok 1.4, which registers for Win+B, but it is not possible to find this out with SystemSettings.

Ideally, all shortcuts that don't bypass the KDE runtime (the likes of Ctrl + printscreen + S) should appear in SystemSettings when the application that registers them is active.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start SystemSettings and a non-KDE4 application that registers global shortcuts (ex. Amarok 1.4, Clementine at times).
Notice that the shortuct (Win+B) is active (advances the Amarok song), but SystemSettings doesn't show it.

Actual Results:  
None, this is more of a feature request.

Expected Results:  
SystemSettings to offer a way to search all global shortcuts.

a) that's not kwin related (would be kglobalacceld, but the component doesn't exist *sigh*)
b) this won't work because e.g. amarok 1.4 registers to some kde3 shortcut daemon - kde4 doesn't know about this
