Description David Rosca 2013-04-21 13:13:11 UTC

KKeyServer::keyQtToSymX and KKeyServer::symXToKeyQt are returning bad values for ěščřžý keys written on Czech keyboard (upper characters row, under qwerty row).
This leads to global shortcuts Meta+ě, Meta+š, ... not working at all (it is possible to set them in settings and also they are correctly displayed, but doesn't work).

I have workarounded this issue by creating new key translation array for those affected czech keys.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assing Meta+ě to some global action
2. Press Meta+ě
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Action is activated
