Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdebase-runtime
It is not possible to assign an action to the Calculator key in the
keyboard (XF86Calculator). The key produces the correct symbol, as
verified by xev:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
root 0x15a, subw 0x0, time 3196197, (1134,-210), root:(1138,622),
state 0x10, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen
YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 140
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
But KDE won't properly register it. To reproduce the bug:
1. Open System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Custom Shortcuts
2. Add a new Global Shortcut (Type: Command/URL)
3. Set the Trigger by clicking the Shortcut button and pressing the Calculator
key in the keyboard.
4. Instead of "Calculator" or "XF86Calculator", the result is the strange
"Launch (1)", that doesn't seem appropriate.
5. Set the Action to kcalc or speedcrunch, and save the changes.
6. Press the Calculator key in the keyboard, nothing happens.
It is possible this be a problem with Qt. Further investigation is
necessary.
