Description dc.hart 2015-05-29 14:08:35 UTC
I use shortcut keys for HTML coding in blogger. 

Three issues:

1. Custom shortcut keys were lost in the migration from Fedora 21 to 22.
2. Shortcut keys that output text do not work at all.
3. In 21 we could assign ct-alt-shift to a shortcut. In 22 the shift is lost.


Once I could not get custom keys that I programmed to work I activated Examples -> Type 'Hello'

Pressing the assigned key combination, ALT-CTL-H, produces nothing. Under settings, Start input actions daemon on log-in is checked. I note that the combination of keys to bring up Konsole (also under Examples) DOES work which suggests that the daemon is running and that the problem is limited to input actions.

What is "blogger" ?  How did you install it?  How do you run it?

Blogger is Google's blog offering. Browser based editing. In any event, using the "example" in any active screen I should be able to input "Hello" by pressing ctl-alt-h. It does nothing.

I'm just trying to figure out what app you're using, so I can triage this to the right component (kdebase is not correct).

Comment 4 dc.hart 2015-05-29 14:24:38 UTC
Custom shortcut keys have been application agnostic. Once programmed in KDE system settings they have previously produced input in any active window. I had another key that automatically input "slowlyboiledfrog" wherever it was needed, email (any client), web, document, etc.

The same condition occurs in a clean install from Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-22-3.iso. 

I note, by the way, that the configuration file (khotkeysrc) moved from 
~/.kde/share/config to ~/.config after upgrading from Fedora 21 to 22 which is why my custom hot keys did not migrate.

This DOES work in Open Suse but not in Kubuntu. I am at a loss but really need this small package that, apparently, few people use.

Closing this bug. Now works due to unknown update.
