Version: (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 KDE 4.4.3 I've created an Input Action in System Settings > Input Actions > Konqueror Gestures I've assigned the shortcut trigger as Ctrl+Meta+S The action is: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u: :Shift+U:s:e:r: :Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 Note that there are two spaces. The output is supposed to be: Kubuntu User #15733 But when Ctrl+Meta+S is pressed, it produces: KubuntuUser#15733 A space is supposed to be created by pressing the space bar, which I've done, so why isn't the space being honored?
I've solved this on my own. While the instructions indicate that a space inserted between colons as in : : is supposed to generate a space, it does not, and why I reported this 'bug.' Today I decided to simply type the word Space between the colons as in :Space: to see if that would work. It did. So my original Input action of: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u: :Shift+U:s:e:r: :Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 Which produced: KubuntuUser#15733 Has been modified to read as: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u:Space:Shift+U:s:e:r:Space:Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 which no correctly produces: Kubuntu User #15733 So likely only the Help and examples on creating an Input Action needs to be updated. This bug can otherwise be closed.
Can you file a bug report for "docs" please, so that the documentation team can handle the issue?

I don't think that's necessary in this case, it was just a misunderstanding (as discussed in the forum thread). The relevant description text is quoted below. The last line, right column, is what was misinterpreted to mean a space character ' ' instead of the word "Space", but I think it's handled well enough (especially as the other case is shown in the left column). After pressing Alt+Ctrl+H the input of 'Hello' will be simulated, as if you typed it. This is especially useful if you have call to frequently type a word (for instance, 'unsigned'). Every keypress in the input is separated by a colon ':'. Note that the keypresses literally mean keypresses, so you have to write what you would press on the keyboard. In the table below, the left column shows the input and the right column shows what to type. "enter" (i.e. new line)..............Enter or Return a (i.e. small a).....................A A (i.e. capital a)...................Shift+A : (colon)............................Shift+; ' ' (space).........................Space
