Description Jeff Moyer 2011-04-22 00:19:13 UTC
Description of problem:
I just installed f15 beta, and am unable to modify keyboard shortcuts.  They keyboard shortcuts window helpfully states, "To edit a shortcut, click the row and hold down the new keys or press Backspace to clear."  For me, highlighting a row works, but pressing Backspace does not clear the shortcut.  Also, pressing another key sequence (alt+f3 in my case) does not create a new shortcut.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-3.0.0.1-3.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
See description

Comment 1 Jeff Moyer 2011-04-22 00:24:01 UTC
I just noticed that when holding down Alt, the "A" in the "All Settings" menu at the top of the window is underlined.  So, it looks like the keypress is captured to open a menu item.

Comment 2 Jeff Moyer 2011-04-22 00:24:36 UTC
I'll note also, though, that trying ctrl+f3 doesn't work, either, and I've no explanation for that one.  ;-)

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-28 04:08:09 UTC
You must click on the shortcut, not just highlight the row.
When the shortcut becomes 'editable', the text changes to 'New shortcut'

Are you doing that ?

Oog, yes, I ran into the same problem, and it's true, clicking on the right side makes it work.  I didn't find that without your help, though!

Perhaps it would help to change the text ("click on the row" obviously isn't quite right), and/or add some sort of graphical hint to make it obvious where the clickable area is.  Or just allow clicking anywhere on the row, as there doesn't appear to be any need to give meaning to a click on the left side of the row.

Finally booted F15 again.  Yes, clicking on the right side allowed me to set the shortcut.  The help text is most confusing.

Comment 6 Steven Bakker 2011-10-24 13:45:50 UTC
Note that it seems it's not possible to use the Ctrl key in a shortcut. Also, none of the existing application launcher shortcuts works for me, only the Terminal one (Ctrl+Alt+t).

I opened bug #748444 on this.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:43:20 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
