Description Daniel Hahler 2011-04-13 21:20:06 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

The keyboard has buttons labeled "1" to "5" at the top, which I can assign in Gnome as global shortcuts, but not with KDE.

Using "xev" they get detected as with keycodes 192-196. The output for pressing and releasing "1" follows:

KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x8c00001,
    root 0x1ad, subw 0x0, time 96428119, (49,105), root:(949,1028),
    state 0x0, keycode 192 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x8c00001,
    root 0x1ad, subw 0x0, time 96428159, (49,105), root:(949,1028),
    state 0x0, keycode 192 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False



Reproducible: Always

Using a fresh ~/.kde profile this works.
Closing therefore.
Comment 2 Daniel Hahler 2011-04-13 23:27:22 UTC 
Re-opening: please provide any pointers at what setting might influence that, I do not want to abandon my whole profile just because of that.

Doesn't seem like we'll be able to troubleshoot this old, un-reproducible issue.
