Version: unknown (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-7-generic I am having some difficulty creating a global keybinding to a numeric keypad key using the "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings applet. For example, say I want to bind "Ctrl + keypad 7" to "Switch to Desktop 1": when I type this sequence it is registered as "Ctrl + 7" (or "Ctrl + Home" if NumLock happens to be off). Then "Ctrl + 7" (using the top-row "7" key) will switch to desktop 1, but "Ctrl + keypad 7" has no effect. In previous versions this key sequence would be registered as "Ctrl + KP_7" or "Ctrl + KP_Home", depending on the NumLock state, and handled correctly. I've worked around the problem using xbindkeys but I'm assuming this should work in KDE? Apologies if this is a duplicate or I if just have some old 3.x configuration messing things up (although in that case some pointers to what to delete would be appreciated...)
I can confirm this bug: when I added a global shortcut on Numeric keypad 2, the shortcut is instead placed on the ordinary "arrow down" key and pressing Numeric keypad 2 has no effect (kubuntu 8.10)
