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 In the global keyboard shortcuts, some key combinations are not working. On kde3 I used to have "Ctrl+Alt+_" to "Maximize window vertically". However, that keyboard shortcut no longer works in kde4. That keyboard shortcut is not assigned to any other application. Also I tried "Ctrl+Alt++", that also does not work. I tried some more combinations. "Ctrl+Alt+=" and "Ctrl+Alt+Up" work. Right now as a fallback I am using "Ctrl+Alt+Up", however I would like "Ctrl+Alt+_" to be working. To confirm that the keyboard shortcut is registering I looked at ~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutrc and it is there. But it wont work. I also logged out and logged back in to refresh kde session, but the problem persisted.
This might be related to bug 243390. Is Shift involved in your case? Like that you have to press Shift and some key to get "_" or "+"?
Git commit 568cb9268a3f940564d155526cb81cec4327cbf6 by Simon Persson. Committed on 29/06/2011 at 04:56. Pushed by persson into branch 'master'. Fix global shortcuts that include symbols produced with shift key KKeySequenceWidget (used to enter shortcuts) removes shift from the recorded shortcut if the symbol produced from that key is different when shift is used. kglobalaccel needs to include shift in the grab in order to be triggered on this class of shortcuts, and then in the keypress event handler it also needs to strip the shift again before checking which shortcut was just triggered.
