Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources alt-tab is blocked when using type-ahead-find. Using such keyboard accelerator should stop type ahead find and continue as expected by running the accelerator.

As nice as this 'improvement' was (blocking ctrl-w or alt-tab) really isn't a good thing, but it broke type-ahead-find for me :( As a vi-addict I try to assign single-letter shortcuts to the most important actions, so 'o' goes to the location bar e.g. So when I am searching for /votes, it searches for the 'v' but when the 'o' is pressed type-ahead-find stops and sets the focus to the location bar :( A proposed solution is maybe doing things the 'firefox' way, that pressing / opens a textbox at the bottom of the khtml frame which has the focus, so all letters would go into this text box, but more complex shortcuts would be handeled by the main event loop?
