BTW, Kevin, I have a personal hotkey popup script[1] the action menu of which with my switch of a couple months ago to firefox from konqueror as my default browser, I recently had occasion to edit, removing its hard- coded references to konqueror, replacing them with xdg-open, so they'd automatically use whatever I had set as kde's default browser. =:^) Quite a useful little set of xdg-utils you have there! =:^) [1] It uses a combination of bash script, a konsole special profile and kwin rules matching it, and khotkeys4 single-key hotkeys, to emulate the missing kde4/qt4 global multi-key functionality that worked perfectly fine in kde3, thus generating my dependency on khotkeys-based multi-key launching in the first place. The kde bug on the matter says it's ultimately a qt4 problem, but I believe I've already seen a fix for the problem with qt5, so perhaps the functionality will again work, there. But now that I have my solution debugged and working, I'll probably keep it, to avoid further issues with disappearing kde hotkey functionality in the future. And if khotkeys functionality itself disappears, there's several alternatives providing single-(perhaps-modified-)key hotkey functionality, tho significantly fewer doing the multikey stuff that khotkeys3 handled so well, so keeping a solution that only requires a single-key global hotkey service is a good idea, now that I have it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
