Version: 4.5 (using KDE 4.5.85) OS: Linux I'm trying to set my keyboard shortcuts to emulate Mac shortcuts so that I can use more thumb and less pinky for modifier keys. So far, I've been able to change cut, copy, and paste to Meta-X, Meta-C, and Meta-V. Those changes work well. However, when I changed select all to Meta-A, it wouldn't work for text edit widgets, only for other semantic "select all" actions, such as selecting files. I would like Meta-A to select all text inside a focused text edit widget. Finally, I found it impossible to change the shortcuts to enable skip-word using Alt-Left/Right and move-cursor-to-beginning/end using Meta-Left/Right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: In Standard Keyboard Shortcuts, change "Select All" to Meta-A. Go to a text field and type some text, then press Meta-A. Actual Results: It doesn't select the text in the text field. Expected Results: It should select the entire text in the text field.
Right, neither KLineEdit::keyPressEvent() nor KTextEdit::Private::handleShortcut() handle the SelectAll shortcut. There are probably others that need to be added.
Even the copy/cut/paste shortcuts only work in certain applications and not universally. The behavior is even more flakey when doing copy/cut/paste with text within lineedits.
Also, moving application-level shortcuts to Meta-* will free up Ctrl-* shortcuts for UNIXy (see emacs, OSX) text shortcuts.

For reference, OSX's keybindings can be changed via /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Resources/StandardKeyBinding.dict. As the flexible and powerful DE it is, KDE should support those options and more.
