Description Daniel Richard G. 2008-12-16 22:26:40 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I want to use Alt+plus and Alt+minus to maximize and minimize windows, respectively (where the plus and minus are those on the numeric keypad, at the extreme right edge of a standard U.S. keyboard).

Unfortunately, these shortcuts do not work once configured; the key combo is passed to the application. KWin does recognize Alt+minus, but only when I hit the minus key that is below F9.

Something in KDE4's key-reading mechanism is failing to distinguish correctly between the two different kinds of minus key, and presumably other keys as well.
