Description Daniel Bahrdt 2009-12-08 00:40:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I'm unable to set Alt+S as shortcut for sending a message.
Kopete doesn't open the ui.rc-files (at least I don't find them in strace kopete 2>&1 | grep -i open)
I tried to patch all files containing &S (for i in $(grep -Rl '&S' *); do sed --in-place -e :a -e 's/\&amp\;S/S/;ta' "${i}"; done) before compiling kopete.
It didn't change a thing.

Is this ever going to be fixed or do you intend to set alt+s as hardcoded shortcut for the settings-menu? If so, can you point me to the location where I have to patch this myself (and maybe for all the other former licq users)

Yes, this hardcoded shortcut is really annoying!

Please vote Daniel, otherwise I do not think anybody will notice ;)

As far as a friend and I found out, this bug might affect all kde-apps which use createGui()/setupGui() from kxmlgui. kxmlgui sets the standard shortcuts without checking if a shortcut has already a shortcut assigned (by the ui.rc files for example)

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Alt-S (even when set for sending messages in shortcuts) takes you to the "Settings" item in the main menu bar.

Thanks for the update!

Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
