[opensuse-kde] KDE Keyboard Shortcuts work everywhere except in KDE apps
I installed OpenSUSE Leap 42.1. I want the newer KDE experience, so following the info at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories I installed Version: Leap 42.1 Extra: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ Applications: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Applications/openSUSE_Leap_42... KDE Frameworks 5: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Frameworks5/openSUSE_Leap_42.... I want to have a Keyboard Shortcut assigned to type my email address on a keystroke. So I opened "System Settings"/"Workspace"/"Shortcuts"/"Custom Shortcuts"/"Configure Input Actions settings". I right-clicked and created a "New > Global Shortcut > Send keyboard input" shortcut with Name == "TypeMyEmail" Then I set Comment == "Comment" Trigger == "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+M" Action == "m:e:Shift+2:e:x:a:m:p:l:e:.:c:o:m" I open a LibreOffice document and press "Meta+Ctrl+Alt+M". I immediately get the email address me@example.com typed into the document. I test it in Firefox when filling out forms and it works too. But when I try it in any KDE application, like Kate or Konsole, I don't get the address output. I get different output depending on the app. For example in Kate -> "." in Konsole -> "^C" in ApplicationLauncher -> it closes the window in Dolphin -> "." How do I fix this so the KDE Shortcuts work in KDE apps too? Bill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
