Description Rex Dieter 2008-04-03 13:33:07 UTC

[08:28] <zcat> rdieter, any chance to get ctrl-alt-arrowkey keymappings by
default in KDE? first thing i have to change. :)
[08:28] <thomasj> :) thx
[08:29] <rdieter> zcat: keymappings to do what?  shrug, sure, bz + patches
welcome. :)
[08:30] <zcat> rdieter, changing virtual desktops. left/right, up/down. it's
default in gnome and xfce.
[08:30] <rdieter> zcat: neat, sure, sounds like a good idea.

Comment 1 Jason Farrell 2008-04-03 13:48:12 UTC

/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kdeglobals

would simply need a section added to the global defaults, minimally populated with:

[Global Shortcuts]
Switch One Desktop Down=Alt+Ctrl+Down
Switch One Desktop Up=Alt+Ctrl+Up
Switch One Desktop to the Left=Alt+Ctrl+Left
Switch One Desktop to the Right=Alt+Ctrl+Right

Thanks Rex,
Jason "zcat" Farrell

Comment 2 Jason Farrell 2008-04-03 14:13:45 UTC

Actually, it might have to have the following form (but I'm not sure):

[Global Shortcuts]
Switch One Desktop Down=default(Alt+Ctrl+Down)
Switch One Desktop Up=default(Alt+Ctrl+Up)
Switch One Desktop to the Left=default(Alt+Ctrl+Left)
Switch One Desktop to the Right=default(Alt+Ctrl+Right)

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2008-04-18 16:35:10 UTC

Hrm, turns out these shortcuts conflict with the default ones already assigned
to Juk (Skip forward/back in playlist), not that I have any problem overriding
that... :)

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2008-04-18 16:59:25 UTC

fixed in kde-settings-4.0-21

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2008-04-18 17:14:53 UTC

requested tagging for f9-final

Comment 6 Jason Farrell 2008-08-01 16:55:16 UTC

went away in kde4.1 settings

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2008-08-01 17:31:36 UTC

confirmed (crap), regression.

Comment 8 Rex Dieter 2008-08-01 18:14:01 UTC

OK, looks closer, and hacking in a particular shortcut or 2 doesn't seem to work
(well, at all?) anymore.

Perhaps we could consider creating a custom fedora.kksrc keyboard shortcut
theme, and then default to that.

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2009-12-10 17:02:48 UTC

Pinged upstream... looks like this should work (better) with kde-4.4.

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2010-02-03 19:54:01 UTC

OK, good and bad news.

Good news is that we can set this.

Bad news is that CNTL-ALT arrowkey mappings are already used by klipper, well, the cntl-alt-(up|down) anyway.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2010-02-03 19:59:11 UTC

nix the good news, 
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
stuff seems to get ignored, and new users seem to get some other sort of default kglobalshortcutsrc created (that doesn't include the stuff from kde-settings).

More poking is needed.

Comment 14 Kevin Kofler 2010-02-14 01:46:58 UTC

Actually the 4.4.0 update set doesn't have the fix yet (sorry).

Comment 15 Rex Dieter 2017-04-25 13:20:59 UTC

I'm going to finally admit defeat here, and close WONTFIX.

Anyone able/willing to work on this is welcome to do so of course.
