Description Zachary Jensen 2005-07-12 01:41:59 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Would it be possible to create a window-specific setting that forwards global keyboard shortcuts to the window?

Example: I am trying to use inkscape, and one of it's commands is alt+drag. But when I do that, kwin interprets it as "Zak is trying to move the window". Basically, kwin intercepts the signal before inkscape can act on it.

I don't want to ask you guys to change the default for the application's sake, but it would be nice if there was a way to disable it. (Maybe there is, using KHotKeys?)

I'll try the above solution, but it would be nice to have both options available.

SVN commit 442075 by lunakl:

Implement #108961 - there's now a shortcut and window-specific setting
for 'Block global shortcuts', which allows applications like Xnest etc.
to get shortcuts like Alt+F4 etc. that'd be otherwise intercepted as
global shortcuts. A shortcut turn it on and off globally, window-specific
setting only for the given window, the shortcut can turn it temporarily
off even for window with a window-specific setting.
FEATURE: 108961

Not really, that's a different issue.

See bug #123058 which seems to be a consquence of this feature.
