Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kde
I found this bug by being stupid.
I was doing some "tidyup" of hidden/config files in my home directory
(which is the product of 5 years and a dozen or more distros) and
assumed that files outside of .kde would not affect my desktop. Oops.
Anyway, I had a konqueror menu item mapped to win + K keys. Because the
"cleanup", the application launchers on the panel became non-functional,
so I deleted them and added them back. win + K changed behaviour --
whereas before it had loaded konqueror with a specific view profile, now
it loaded the generic konqueror. I went into the menu editor to find it
- but couldn't, it was no longer in the menu. I went into kcontrol, and
searched on "key", and found the key mapping dialogs, and looked through
them all. win + K is not there either. I then decided to make a new menu
item and map that to win + K; however, I can't, because it's already in
use. So now I'm stuck with an key combination that is not editable
through the UI.
In summary, I consider the bug to be that application launching key
combinations both are and are not bound to the KDE menu. Clearly, it is
possible to remove a menu item, but leave the key mapped, thus making
that key combination uneditable going forward. I would like the
application launching key combinations to be directly editable from
kcontrol, perhaps in addition to the menu editor.
