Description antonmx 2006-10-02 03:35:39 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Explanation: I cannot set a shortcut like "Ctrl+Shift" since one more key is always expected.
Suggestion: Including virtual "Release-key" may help. It will also allow to forget about modifiers (in certain situation, it's a pain to configure them) - the shortcuts like "Q+W+Release" or even "Q+W+E+R+T+Y+Release" will became possible. Isn't it great?

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.
