Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux In KDE 4.1 trunk it is not possible to assign a global shortcut to a channel. This did work in 4.0.x. Winterz said something about that functionality being broken because it is not ported to 4.1 yet.
This should already work again. Please test with recent trunk version (yesterday evening or newer). Feedback is highly appreciated, so please report back.

Just checked it. I didn't commit everything yesterday. I'll do so tomorrow. I'll notify this in this bug report when it is done.
Change priority and severity.
This seems to be fixed now.
I am not sure whether this is related, but there is a new issue. Kmix somehow claims cursor-up/-down as global hotkeys (although not shown in systemsettings) and hence those keys do not work in e.g. konsole.
If on eassignes shortcuts, they work. If one then quits kmix and starts it again, they are still assigned. If one restarts KDE though, the global shortcuts are gone.
If I have alook at kdeglobalshortcutsrc I see: kmix\x01Lautstärke erhöhen - Front, HDA ATI SB=Volume Up kmix\x01Lautstärke verringern - Front, HDA ATI SB=Volume Down kmix\x01Stummschaltung umschalten - Front, HDA ATI SB=Volume Mute Other applications have a [applicationName] before their shortcuts, kmix does not. The shortcuts are not shown in kmix's settings. bug 162144 might be related
Works for me in KDE 4.1.1
