Version: 2.0 (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.16-gentoo-r12 Keyboard shortcuts don't work with keys KP_0 - KP_9 (numbers on keypad with numlock ON). With numpad off, everything works fine. With numpad on, assigning shortcut e.g. ALT+KP_4 and pressing it does nothing. You have to press ALT+SHIFT+KP_LEFT (that means numlock off) to trigger the action. The problem is not in modifier, it fails to work with any modifier or without modifier. How to reproduce: 1. Run Control Center->Keyboard Shortcuts->Commands Shortcuts, assing keys to "Home" (easy to try). 2. Assing Alt+KP_4 (assigning works ok). 3. Press Alt+KP_4. Nothing happens. Press Alt+Shift+KP_4. Nothing happens. Turn numlock off. Press Alt+KP_Left. Nothing happens. Press Alt+Shift+KP_Left. Voila, "Home" runs. So, the assigned shortcut was Alt+KP_4, but you have to push Alt+Shift+KP_Left, any other combination doesn't work. Expected behaviour: "Home" runs on Alt+KP_4. Very annoying bug. I have also tried it in Gnome(Ubuntu 6.06), installing KDE app (Amarok) and trying to assing global shortcuts. Does not work either. So i suppose it is not problem of my KDE settings. Please fix.
Duplicate of Bug #78563 I'd say.
I can confirm this bug on OpenSuse, KDE 4.11.4 and in Debian Sid up to date as of today, KDE 4.11.3. I was trying to assign Ctrl+Alt+Numpad1 to the "Quick tile window to bottom left" function of Kwin. Note that instead of working with Numpad1, the shortcut works with normal number 1 key. With num lock off, setting the shortcut triggers the end key. Again, the shortcut works fine with the end key on top of the arrow keys on a normal large keyboard, yet fails on the numpad. To Ben Boeckel, I don't think this is a duplicate of Bug #78563.
This prevents making a quick tile setup like in Unity. That would be nice to have.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Kcontrol has been replaced by System Settings in Plasma. Please give the latest version of that a try, and open a new bug in "systemsettings" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
