Description rotten 2001-10-07 20:22:35 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kcmkeys
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.10
OS/Compiler notes: 

It would be fine to have kcmkeys create a printout of the currently selected key scheme.

There is no complete documentation about the global shortcuts in kde and since every user can change the defaults there will never be. At the moment there seems to be no other way for getting that information than opening kcmkeys and searching the listview.
A printout would greatly help e.g. for switching to the new (and fine) meta key scheme...

This was a VERY long time ago but there is a way you can do this, it's just not direct.

You can export the scheme and print the file. My spectacle shortcut scheme looks like this for example:

[org.kde.spectacle.desktop][Global Shortcuts]
ActiveWindowScreenShot=Meta+Print
CurrentMonitorScreenShot=
FullScreenScreenShot=Shift+Print
RectangularRegionScreenShot=Meta+R
_launch=Print

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
