Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0) OS: Linux When I go to systemsettings->keyboard&mouse and set a shortcut to for example meta-x, then I get displayed four rectangles, then dash and x (like with alt or control, but four rectangles instead of meta/win or anything). Now, the shortcut is not bound to meta-x, but to meta itself, and only one click triggers an action. All default shortcuts using meta key work well and appear well.
I'm using kde 4.0.1 but it wasn't on list.
fixed in more recent version.
*** Bug 168350 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I am not sure whether Bug 168350 is really a duplicate. If it is, it holds a better description of the behavior. KDE definitely gets meta, super and hyper wrong My description is as follows: first xmodmap output for modifiers xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb) 1. my (physical) windows-key produces a Super_L with xev, BUT when I use it in a shortcut combination in kde input action settings it will get recognized as meta_L. Nonetheless the resulting shortcut will work. 2. when I map my (physical) LControl-key to Hyper_L (and check it with xev) and try to use it in a shortcut combination with another nonmodifier kde input action settings will recognize it as something weird (strange nonlatin letters will appear in the shortcut-box) and the combination will get recognized as a single keypress, no modifier, but as such it will work. 3. when I map my LControl-key to Super_L it will work as the windows key (see 1) 4. when I map my LControl-key to Meta_L and try to use it in a shortcut combination, KDE will recognize it as an "Alt".. combination. Nonetheless the combination will work, also when I press the real Alt. Please reopen the bug, I'm using KDE 4.4.2 on Kubuntu 10.4., so it is definitely not repaired in a more recent version as stated above.
I'm still experiencing this problem in the KDE 4.5 RC on Ubuntu 10.04.
still in 4.5.1/ubuntu 10.10 seems like it's not a bug, but broken as designed.
Still not working in Kubuntu 12.04 (KDE 4.8). Hyper, Super and Mode_switch are not treated as modifiers, but instantly produce funny looking characters when pressed in any "Customize shortcut" dialog. My xmodmap is set up like this: % xmodmap -pm xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock control Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x69) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0xcc) mod2 Hyper_L (0x86), Hyper_L (0x87), Hyper_L (0xcf) mod3 Super_L (0x25), Super_L (0xce) mod4 Meta_L (0x85), Meta_L (0xcd) mod5 Mode_switch (0x6c), Mode_switch (0xcb)

Git commit 1ee6660ceb62d4584a5371d0cce107b7008e75df by David Redondo. Committed on 30/04/2020 at 16:51. Pushed by davidre into branch 'master'. Rewrite of the global shortcuts kcm Summary: This is a total rewrite of the global shortcuts kcm from scratch. It uses an abstract item model backend with a qml frontend. This resolves some issues the old kcm inherently had because it just stacked KShortcutEditors. First it enables a global serach/filter which either matches the component name, actions, default or set key combinations across components. Secondly KGlobalAccel can have multiple default/active key combinations for each action - the old kcm only exposed two each. The new kcm displays all default or set key combinations. The main visual structure is similiar to the old kcm. On the left there is a list with all components but rather than divided into "Application Launchers" and "Other Shortcuts" the sections are now called "Applications" and "System Services" (cf. notifications kcm) and the components are now assigned whether the service we find for a component is an application or not rather if the component was added via .desktop file. In the main view the shortcuts are displayed. Each item corresponds to one action. Initially each item is collapsed and shows the action name and a list of the currently set key combinations for that action. In the expanded form all default shortcuts are shown which can be activated or deactivated and all other active shortcuts ("Custom Shortcuts"). It is possible to change, remove or add new custom shortcuts. The kcm and model communicate directly with the daemon over DBus. This removes the need to awkwardly construct actions to pass to the KGlobalAccel API.
