Like others on the bug, mine has the key, but it's not active, even tho the window key (which I have mapped, logically, to various window and other kwin functions) is. Thus the original post, since it obviously doesn't work for everyone. (FWIW, I could probably get it to work,, now that I know it's supposed to, if I bothered screwing with the config. But it's not important enough to hassle it so I probably won't unless I get bored some day.) > Talking about bugs.kde.org, I somehow can't resist linking to #5 of the > top-voted feature requests: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86423#c7 > > (And if this was an HTML email read with an MUA that supported standard > RFC multi-part, such as kmail, then you'd e.g. nicely see the title of > the bug ready to click on, instead of the cryptic link itself...) (And if that was the case, then it would obscure the fact that it /really/ pointed at bugs.kde.org instead of to, say, a malware site with a bugs.kd- some-goofy-symbol-looking-like-an-e.org (which in plain text ends up with an escaped numeric-code for the goofy e, so it's easy to spot), while having a title pretending to say bugs.kde.org. Not so important for a link claiming to be a bug link, but if you have a paypal account and get a mail claiming to be from paypal, for instance... Tho if someone was clever they could still post links to a "bugzilla" with "patches" posted for problems that instead downloaded and installed botware or some such. Which is my point. With plain text, I see the raw URL and can thus see if there's any funny stuff going on with it. If the poster deems it necessary to say what it is, fine, but I can see the address and decide whether I trust it either way.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

[kde] Re: Various Kmail paths?
Hi, All user's data is in the /home directory. To save a user's data, just backup /home/johndoe. 90% of the KDE configuration files are in the ~/.kde4 directory. I left the last 9% to akonadi, which stores all its data in ~/.config. the last 1% is for any stray configuration file that might appear. IOW : backing up ~/.kde4 and ~/.config should be enough. However, do try creating a new user using the backed up directories first, just to be on the safe side. Martin.

The installer destroys the data? I'm not sure I completely understand you. Good practise is to have a separate partition for all user's data : /home, the installer should allow you to create one, and to not having it formated during a reinstall. > > To save myself a lot of time I need to know where the mail directories are > on kde4.6.0 and also the address book and kwallet stuff the idea being to > simply reformat the home partition, re install and then copy all of the > mail directories into place.

There we are, now I'm back at the laptop where I sat yesterday, and it simply doesn't have that key on the keyboard... Having a closer look at bugs.kde.org only now, I found a number of more or less related reports for this: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=context+menu+shortcut https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109880 seems to be the closest to my problem (even though the workaround described there unfortunately doesn't work for me).

Hi Kevin, thanks for pointing that key out, that's the obvious one I didn't see! Out of curiosity, it seems this cannot be configured anywhere, does it? There may be keyboards that don't have it, I'd think. Regards, Jörg P.S.

[kde] Various Kmail paths?
I'm having a bit of a problem with repeat complete re installs. Problem is basically the installer doesn't reset any system files off the home directory. To save myself a lot of time I need to know where the mail directories are on kde4.6.0 and also the address book and kwallet stuff the idea being to simply reformat the home partition, re install and then copy all of the mail directories into place. I suspect there may be a problem with kwallet but hope not. Maybe I have to disable it before copying it's directory entries?

Ah. Maybe it has a setting to just ignore the HTML alternative. In KMail I only see the plain text variant since that's my preference setting for such cases.
