Description C. Laurence Gonsalves 2003-07-27 20:12:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc-3.2.2-5 
OS:          Linux

I'm trying to get shift-insert to paste the selection, rather than the clipboard. The file README.KeyTab indicates that I should be able to do this by having something like:

  key Insert+Shift -Control : emitSelection

in a custom keytab file. I tried this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I created other keymappings in the same keytab file, and they work correctly, but it appears that I can't change the meaning of shift-insert.

Keytab file that I'm trying to get working

This is the latest version of the keytab file that I can't seem to get working.
Note that the remapping of backspace and delete work as they should, but the
remapping of shift-insert doesn't work for me.

Your attached keytab works fine for me with KDE 3.1.3.

Comment 3 C. Laurence Gonsalves 2003-09-26 02:15:26 UTC

I finally figured out what was causing this to fail for me. I'm including the
solution here to hopefully spare others the pain and suffering caused by
shift-insert doing the wrong thing:

It turns out that in addition to the keytab file, konsole also has a "Configure
Shortcuts" dialog. In this dialog, "Paste" (ie: paste clipboard) was bound to
Shift-Insert. It turns out that the settings in this dialog takes precendence
over the contents of the keytab file. (why there are two overlapping and
conflicting mechanisms for doing the same thing, I don't know...)

You can get to the dialog by right-clicking on konsole, and going to "Settings"
and then "Configure Shortcuts...". Make sure "Paste" is bound to "None".
