This is an update regarding the + and * keyboard issue with kdevelop/kate... on Apples X11.

I finally had time to forward this bug response on. Looks like Apple say's that it's not their bug. I know somebody put up a suggestion/work around for this but I cannot find it. It was regarding key mapping files.

This approach worked for me


1. open the file /sw/bin/startkde and remove (comment out) all lines which are modifying the xmodmap table.

Like this:
#/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 74 = Right"
#/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 78 = Left"
#/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 80 = Down"
#/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 85 = Up"

Create a .Xmodmap in your home directory

!--start-of-file--------------------
!clear all modifier keys like the apple, ctrl and alt key
clear mod1
clear mod2
clear mod3
clear mod4
clear mod5
clear shift
clear control
!clear lock

!Add correct values for certain keys
keycode 18 = asciicircum degree
keycode 27 = 2 quotedbl twosuperior
keycode 28 = 3 section threesuperior
keycode 30 = 6 ampersand bracketright
keycode 31 = 5 percent bracketleft
keycode 32 = acute grave
keycode 33 = 9 parenright braceright
keycode 34 = 7 slash bar backslash
keycode 35 = ssharp question
keycode 36 = 8 parenleft braceleft
keycode 38 = plus asterisk
keycode 41 = udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 45 = l L at
keycode 47 = adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keycode 49 = odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keycode 50 = numbersign apostrophe
keycode 53 = n N asciitilde
keycode 59 = BackSpace
keycode 63 = Alt_L
keycode 64 = Shift_L
keycode 66 = Mode_switch

!remove wrong Cursor values
keycode 74 =
keycode 78 =
keycode 80 =
keycode 85 =

!add correct cursor values
keycode 131 = Left
keycode 132 = Right
keycode 133 = Down
keycode 134 = Up


! add the shift key add shift = Shift_L

!add the alt/option key
add mod2  = Mode_switch

! add the apple key
add mod4   = Meta_L

!that is the default for X11 on a Intel System
add mod3  = Alt_L
add control   = Control_L

!--end-of-file--------------------------------

3. Add a line to your .xinitrc  or to you /sw/bin/startkde like
xmodmap /Users/username/.Xmodmap


At last: The new xmodmap settings are working for me. But usually should X11 take over the new xmodmap settings through the third point. But it doesn't on my powerbook. Don't know why.


You can test for correct xmodmap settings in a KDE konsole: open a konsole and add two or more shell tabs. Press Shift-*. The wrong xmodmap doesn't print a star. It switch the tabs instead. If your keytable is still wrong just call "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" and start a new konsole from the konsole. Don't start the new konsole from the startmenu. The new konsole should work now.
