Version: (using KDE 3.5.10) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs This problem observed in Konqueror and KDE Control Panel, and in non-KDE app Nedit. I don't know of anything else that uses Ctrl+G to test. . Nedit has Ctrl+G as the default Find Next key. When I had KDE 3.5.8, I configured Ctrl+G as new shortcut for Find Next in Konqueror. It continued to work in KDE 3.5.9. After installing KDE 3.5.10 RPMs, it no longer works in Konqeror and no longer works in Nedit. In KDE 3.5.10, pressing Ctrl+G in Nedit does nothing, and pressing Ctrl+G in Konqueror now displays the one-letter labels for jumping to various parts of the screen. I.E. *** Ctrl+G now behaves the same as pressing Ctrl without any other key. *** Displaying the current Konqueror keyboard shortcuts shows that Ctrl+G is the (custom) primary shortcut for Find Next. I tried to redefine the Find Next action (in Konqueror) as Ctrl+G by: Settings > Configure Shortcuts select Find Next select the None radio button and press OK to clear the old definition, then go back into it and continue with ... select Custom radio button in the popup, press Ctrl+G *** Expected (this is the behaviour shown by past releases) It shows "Ctrl+G" in the key box. *** Actual While Ctrl+G is being held down, it shows "Ctrl+" in the key box. When Ctrl+G is released, the key box is erased -- no key combination was accepted. Using Control Center, Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts, the same thing happens. So, it looks like something in KDE no longer recognizes the Ctrl+G keystroke combination. This happens on two machines: machine 1: home-built machine AMD processor Fedora 8 Fedora's KDE RPMs Microsoft 2000 keyboard no KVM switch Ctrl+G worked on KDE 3.5.9 and below, fails on KDE 3.5.10. machine 2: IBM branded machine Intel processor Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 kde-redhat.org KDE RPMs IBM keyboard has a KVM switch Ctrl+G worked on KDE 3.5.9 and below, fails on KDE 3.5.10.
The bug has been fixed on KDE 4 (tested on KDE 4.4.5).
