Hi, Thanks for the support till now. I have a GUI based application (Qt) in which I have defined some shortcuts like - Ctrl+ Function keys, Ctrl+ Tab, Alt+F1, Alt+F2... etc. They are mapped to some other functionality in SuSe KDE (3.2) by default (For e.g., Ctrl+ Tab is minimizing all the windows). Is there any way to override these default key mappings? In Google search I found the link (http://bdn.borland.com/article/borcon/files/6202/paper/6202.html <http://bdn.borland.com/article/borcon/files/6202/paper/6202.html> chapter 9 -> KDE stealing hot-keys) which said that with Scroll lock enabled, the default hotkeys will not function; but it is not working with my application. The Ctrl+Fx keys combination is working in Gnome environment. Any suggestion to override the default key mappings in KDE, so that the shortcuts I have defined would function would be of great help to me.
