I think you missed the point here. Who decides here is not "dontknowwhat" distribution, it's the KDE project. And there it has been decided for CTRL + SHIFT + F shortcut. So all KDE applications should provide that shortcut. We added the F11 shortcut that comes from browser experience. That's all. If an user add a "Global" shortcut (in this case, a KWin one) he has 3 shortcuts to start a feature. It's true he cannot see the "global" shortcut in rekonq shortcut settings. But that's because that shortcut is not a rekonq settings. No way to show it, also setting no app shortcuts. > And for the backend thing: who cares about the backend when dealing with > shortcuts?

I was just saying that F shortcut comes from MPlayer setting and it becomed a "default" one for video player, in the same way F11 becomes the "default" one for browsers. I'm used to use F shortcut with players and F11 shortcut for browsers and I think all users will complain if one of these fails. -- Andrea Diamantini, adjam GPG Fingerprint: 57DE 8E32 7D1A 0E16 AA52 59D8 84F9 3ECD DBF9 730F rekonq project WEB: http://rekonq.sourceforge.net IRC: rek...@freenode _______________________________________________ rekonq mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/rekonq
