Description Jeffrey 2011-11-29 20:11:04 UTC
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Trying to set up a shortcut to type out info; the 'Type Hello' example is useful but the info given for a space character doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to get a space at the beginning or end of a new shortcut with this but the space doesn't appear:
' ':V:I:D:E:O:S:/:Shift+INS:

Actual Results:  
The space doesn't appear in my output:
"videos/abc.mpgvideos/abc2.mpgvideos/abc3.avi"

Expected Results:  
There should be a space before the videos/____ every time i run that command, so:
" videos/abc.mpg videos/abc2.mpg videos/abc3.avi"

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-2-686-pae
Compiler: gcc

Thanks for KDE!

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
