Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) OS: Linux Kickoff should have a default keyboard shortcut. Traditionally this has been "Alt-F1". This was at least still present with KDE 4.4. But is missing with KDE 4.6 Reproducible: Always OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-rc6-default Compiler: gcc
the default installation still does this; however, instances added after the first one do not automatically register the shortcut and KDE's Global Shortcuts do not, by the design of its developer (and who i personally disagree with on this matter), allow for runtime over-ride of previously assigned shortcuts. so in some cases there is nothing we can do (due to the latter) and in other cases it just isn't done automatically since the addition is done by the user and not by the initial set up scripts.
Aaron, you're wrong - default does not do it. --- a/plasma/desktop/shell/data/layouts/org.kde.plasma-desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js +++ b/plasma/desktop/shell/data/layouts/org.kde.plasma-desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js @@ -5,7 +5,8 @@ if (panelIds.length == 1) { } panel.height = 27 -panel.addWidget("launcher") +var launcher = panel.addWidget("launcher") +launcher.globalShortcut = "Alt+F1"; panel.addWidget("pager") panel.addWidget("tasks") panel.addWidget("systemtray")
