From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: According to the help for gnome-keybinding-properties (i.e. go to the GNOME menu | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts and click Help), you can add custom keybindings by going to gnome-keybinding-properties and hitting the Add button. However, there is no Add button. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.0.1-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. GNOME menu | Preferences | Keyboard Shortcuts 2. Press "Help", read about "Add" button Actual Results: There is no Add button. Expected Results: There is an Add button that allows you to create custom keybindings to arbitrary programs. Additional info:
I just noticed there is a GNOME bug for this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105679 which indicates it is fixed for 2.2.1. I'm not clear if they mean they've added the feature, or removed it from the documentation. I think the feature should be added/included/backported to RedHat 9. To the friend who pointed this out to me, being unable to customise his keybindings is a killer bug (a "workflow" bug, sure, but a killer one), and it is a regression in the sense he could set custom keybindings in RedHat 7.3.
It was removed from documentation. I'm not sure why Sun patch is not upstream, ccing Mark
