Version: (using KDE 4.0.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux some keyboard shortcuts don't work For desktop switching, I choose Alt-& for desktop 1 Alt-é for desktop 2 Alt-" for desktop 3 Alt-' for desktop 4 (that's Alt and '1' '2' '3' and '4' over 'a' 'z' 'e' anr 'r' on a french layout keyboard) Bug : The second one (alt-é) don't get me on the desktop 2.
bug still here in 4.0.3
Have you experienced this bug again with a recent KDE version ( 4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 / 4.2svn)? Thanks :) KDE Hotkeys are more or less broken in KDE4.1.x, but they are fixed in KDE4.2 :)
I can verify that quite a few shortcuts do not work for me on Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.1.85. Examples are: Konsole: I set ctrl+tab to Next View and ctrl+shift+tab (ctrl+backtab is what it enters for me) for Previous View. Next View works fine, but Previous View does nothing. khotkeys: I set Meta+T to open Konsole. It does nothing. KWin/Effects: While trying out the various effects, anything involving Meta seemed to fail to activate with the keyboard shortcut. Note that this is a brand new keyboard. All of my keys work fine. Furthermore, I can assign any keyboard shortcuts to Meta+whatever -- the assignment box enters the correct shortcut. KDE just fails to detect the keypress when in use. I will happily provide more information about my system setup if requested.
May be related to bug 173246 (look at bug 173246 comment 10)
I’d love to use Meta+T for terminals and Meta+arrows/Meta+Shift+arrows for desktop switching, I hope this bug gets fixed soon :)
Hi, I have a similiar problem, and i tried a few things to figure it out. Is it possible that kde apps uses Qt::Key_Shift instead of Qt::SHIFT? I wrote a small test application for myself and Qt::Key_Shift never worked as modifier. Qt::SHIFT does. I dont know if this is really related here, because i dont fully understand the source code, but it looks like the actions arent set properly. I hacked konsole a bit so that ctrl+shift+tab is the default for "previous tab". This works without any problem. But setting ctrl+shift+tab as non-default shortcut for something different doesnt work. It might be that shift is interpreted as key and not as modifier, but as i said I couldn't figure out where its set.
Hi, I have the same problem (KDE4.2.4 from Buildservice on OpenSuse 11.1). Shift seems not to work as modifier. If I try to configure hotkeys in the systemsettings and press ALT+SHIFT a dialog pops up and tells me that this key isn't supported by Qt. Cheers, tonz
Hi, this works with plasma-framework 5.28.0 for me. Since this is a very old bug, I suggest closing it, if nobody has any objections. Matthias
