I understand your opinions and sonetimes also use F11. But to keep consistency we shouldn't redefine shortcuts per default even if they are the same. It is about synchrony. If the user or the distribution changes the global shortcut rekonq is not affected. Thats not good in my opinion. If the user really wants F11 he/she may enable this via rekonqs shortcuts editor (once it is working :D), but then he/she is responsible for breaking the consistency. This is an important difference to me, because then the user knows what is going on in the system and why. And for the backend thing: who cares about the backend when dealing with shortcuts? This is a GUI thing and the GUI should hide the backend from the user (besides, Kaffeine uses Phonon "backend"). But I don't want to step deeply into this discussion. I just wanted to say that other applications are also not considering the globals and we can do better. _______________________________________________ rekonq mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/rekonq
