Version: 0.4 (using KDE 3.1.92 (CVS >= 20031007), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.1 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.23-pre7 1. Chosing a program, which really has a (working :-)) shortcut key configured. But kmenuedit claims, there would be no shortcut key configured. 2. After configuring a shortcutkey, the key can't be seen (colour: kde2, style: motif) I'm using actual cvs code. Kind regards, Andreas Hartmann
Can't reproduce.. works here.
Subject: Re: shortcut keys are not shown Does work here definitely not. Sorry. I've got a new installation from CVS HEAD today - btw: kcontrol is totally broken since yesterday. It's empty and all modules are in the unknown directory in kicker. Kind regards, Andreas Hartmann
Subject: Re: shortcut keys are not shown Problem 1: existing shortkeys are not shown: I've got a shortcut for kcalc (khotkeysrc): --------------------------------------------------------------- [Data] DataCount=1 [Data_1] Comment=These entries were created using Menu Editor. DataCount=6 Enabled=true Name=Menu Editor entries SystemGroup=1 Type=ACTION_DATA_GROUP [Data_1Conditions] Comment= ConditionsCount=0 [Data_1_1] Comment= Enabled=true Name=K Menu - kde-kcalc.desktop Type=MENUENTRY_SHORTCUT_ACTION_DATA [Data_1_1Actions] ActionsCount=1 [Data_1_1Actions0] CommandURL=kde-kcalc.desktop Type=MENUENTRY [Data_1_1Conditions] Comment= ConditionsCount=0 [Data_1_1Triggers] Comment=Simple_action TriggersCount=1 [Data_1_1Triggers0] Key=Alt+Ctrl+Shift+R Type=SHORTCUT ------------------------------------------------------------ The shortkey works, but isn't shown in kmenuedit. Instead, kmenuedit shows the following warning: kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: KKeySequence::init( seq ): key[0] is null. Problem 2: While installing a shortkey, the key isn't shown. 1. Chose the style motif, e.g. 2. Start kmenuedit and chose an application to create a shortkey for. 3. Enter the shortkey (SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-Q e.g.). 4. The window waiting for the shortkey disappears and the kmenuedit window with the chosen application is in front again. At this point, the field for the shortkey is empty. If you click into the menu, you can see the shortkey as long as the menu is open. If the menu is closed, the shortkey field is empty again.
kmenuedit shows the shortkeys when the following lines are added to khoykeysrc [Main] Autostart=true Disabled=false Version=2

There must be a problem somewhere else. Kind regards, Andreas Hartmann
Is this about the shortcut being there but not being visible, or about the shortcut not being configured at all?
Subject: Re: shortcut keys are not shown This is the problem, which is actual: The shortcuts are really configured (khotkeys show them), but kmenuedit claims, there would be no key defined - and this is readable very well. Regards, Andreas Hartmann
Subject: Re: shortcut keys are not shown The problem can be reproduced doing the following: 1. Set Germany as region - it works fine with english. 2. open kmenuedit, choose a application and set the shortcut. 3. save and exit kmenuedit. 4. reopen kmenuedit and choose the same application -> the shortcut key is not shown.
This bug is not fixed until today (KDE 3.2.2, CVS-BRANCH 05. MAY 2004)
I'm sorry that I have to say it: this bug is not fixed in KDE 3.2.91 nor in KDE 3.2.3. If you use german language, it does not work!
Sounds like kmenuedit resolves/d the assiciated action by some localized string (eg. incl. the generic command name) Before I install an i18n package: is this actually still a problem?
Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.
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.
