Description Rod 2006-10-23 22:44:31 UTC
Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.2 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-386

While the default Global shortcuts (such as win+c) work even when Amarok is not in the foreground, as soon as I change it to a custom shortcut, the exact same functionality disappears until I revert to the defaults.  The behaviour of the defaults is exactly correct, it is just that I cannot change the shortcut for the desired behaviour.

For Example:
The default global shortcut for "Next Track" is Win+B.  If I change it to what I want (Ctrl+KP_6), I can no longer go to the next track.  If I revert back to the default (Win+B) functionality is restored.
Comment 1 Rod 2006-10-23 22:50:10 UTC
Sorry, 1 additional note.  The custom shortcut DO work but only when the program is in the foreground.  As soon as I switch to something else, the exact shortcut I just used in the program stops working.
Comment 2 Harald Sitter 2007-08-02 12:08:43 UTC
Confirmed ... only happens for KP_* keys though.
Comment 3 Mark Kretschmann 2007-08-02 12:19:09 UTC
I can reproduce this as well. But, I don't think it's an Amarok issue. Looks like a KDE issue to me.
Comment 4 Harald Sitter 2007-08-02 12:36:21 UTC
Reassign to kdelibs, since it's a KDE Global Shortcut issue (try setting a Ctrl+KP_* shortcut in kcmshell keys -> doesn't work either).
Comment 5 Harald Sitter 2007-08-02 12:38:18 UTC
actually reassign :P
Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2011-10-28 12:53:49 UTC
What is the status of this bug? Does it still happen with a recent KDE version, such as 4.6.5 or 4.7.x? Please add a comment.

I switched away from KDE a year after I opened this defect.  It has been nearly 12 years.

I don't use either KDE or Amarok anymore.  As far as I know, this issue could still be present or closed.  I no longer care.

Unless someone else feels like they want to take up the issue, I vote to close this.
Comment 9 Justin Zobel 2022-12-01 04:34:36 UTC
Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
