Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 OS: Linux Despite following bug of the 2003-03-06 is marked as resolved: 54706 Kate forgets keybindings after restart kate general normal RESOLVED actually, in my release, kate 2.2 using Kde-3.2 rc1 , I'm not able to save my shortcut so that from ctrl-alt-shift-b it becomes ctl-alt-b: I can set it, but when I close the application the setting is lost. It could be saved also the information that during the last session I had the shell focused on the bottom doc application, not the file chooser, that's the default selection.
I have a similar problem, in Kate 2.2 (KDE 3.2.0, SuSE 9.0). How to reproduce: 1) Open Kate. 2) Assign F7 to Show Terminal. (The shortcut will work during the remainder of the session.) 3) Quit Kate. 4) Restart Kate. 5) Press F7 (Desired result: the terminal view should open. Actual result: nothing happens.) 6) Open the Configure Shortcuts dialog. Note that there is no shortcut assigned to Show Terminal. This is 100 percent reproducible. The following console output might be of interest. It is printed when exiting the dialog after assigning the shortcut: kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::updateShortcut(): name = "unnamed", cut = F7; No KAccel, probably missing a parent collection.
I'm using KDE 3.2 / SuSE RPMs I can always reproduce this error. The mentioned message (missing a parent collection) does not appear here though. I can save some user-defined shortcuts (i.e. for Close, Close All) but others not (i.e. Toggle Left IDEAL Dock). Unfortunately Toggle Left Dock is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L which is really horrible if you need it often. I'm not a programmer but it might have sth. to do with the various components/KParts. AFAIK there is a general (KDE-wid) MDI component which manages all those IDEAL stuff. Maybe shortcuts to those functions are not saved (could fit for Terminal, too).
Assigning F7 does not work, because it is assigned to show the command line The reason for the complex shortcut is that the toggle tool docks needs 4 similar shortcuts, and "free" shortcuts are rare in Kate/Katepart and other apps using Katepart + KMDI, because most of those apps tends to have a lot of actions.
I can cofirm that this is reproducable in HEAD.
