Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package The Kate session applet can be configured to pop up via a keyboard shortcut and the listed session can be navigated via the up and down arrow keys. Yet, a session can not be started by means of using the keyboard, a mouse click is currently required.
Created attachment 36085 [details] Enable keyboard selection of a session in the applet The attached patch fixes the problem by using the QTreeView::activated signal instead of the clicked signal. This also elegantly handles the single/double click issue. The path is rather trivial. I compiled and installed it on my system and it behaves as expected. Notably, it still obeys the system wide single/double click setting. I have commit access myself, but anyone feeling responsible for this can feel free to commit. I sent a mail to kwrite-devel about this 2 days ago, but it's still awaiting moderator approval, so sorry if the issue pops up again. I'm just too impatient :)
