Attachments:	Mouse keyboard num pad navigation blocks num pad shorcuts with modifiers

Description Ivan 2012-01-28 23:49:41 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I try to setup global shortcuts using the num pad I find problems distinguishing those shortcuts with the "common" keys. For example, If I have Num Lock on, and make a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+5 the shortcut only works with the "common" key, not with the key in the numpad.
When Num Lock is off, that same shortcut is expressed as Ctrl+Alt+Clr but it should be different from the other Clr key, since it's a completely different key, I think this is a bug in mapping the keys, since I've seen GTK apps doing it correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try what's explained in the Details of the bug report.


Expected Results:  
I expect the key in the num pad to be mapped (or give different signals) than the common keys, so that I could use them for unique shortcuts. And also I expect for them to work at all when Num Lock is on.

Mouse keyboard num pad navigation blocks num pad shorcuts with modifiers

Fedora 27, MacBook Pro mid 2015
KDE Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> Keyboard navigation
WHEN      Move pointer with keyboard (using the num pad) IS SET
THEN      Any num pad shortcuts with modifiers are blocked
OTHERWISE The num pad shorcuts work as they should.

NumPad shortcuts do work in system settings, though.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
