Version: 0.5 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-1-686 When hovering over a number, let the user clear the field with space as well as backspace. Optionally, offer the same with 0 and/or enter which would be a great thing when playing with a numpad.
You can allready modify the key-settings ("Settings/Configure shortcuts"). So if you prefer the numpad-enter and space simply set them. In KDE you have allways two alternatives for one action, I -- having nothing to do with KSudoku -- don't think that more are really needed.
I don't have KDE4 here to test what the default keys for this action are. But what I really meant to say was "wouldn't it make sense to default to space for clearing fields?"
The current defaults are "Delete" and "Backspace" which also make a lot of sense (from a computer user perspective). "Space" and "0" would also make sense, but the KDE shortcut system is restricted to just 2 shortcuts per action. Really, this simply comes down to a matter of personal preference and it's up to the maintainer to decide. This is a perfect example of why we should be thankful that KDE provides built-in shortcut customisation.
Hmm, the limitation of two shortcuts is a good point. Is anyone against leaving this open or could the maintainer chip in on if this has any chance of ever being revisited?
I think it makes sense to leave it open until Johannes has a chance to comment.
