Suddenly in the past week the shortcuts stopped working and nothing was possible to restore them. This is strange because there is nothing new in the Debian KDE4.2 packages since its release. Am I wrong? Second I have decided to try what you already tried, deleting the config files inside .kde4/share/config kglobalshortcutsrc kmix kmixctrlrc and surprise, kglobalshortcutsrc is deleted upon logout automatically. So I don't know how it is possible to reset to default khotkeys behavior and start again. Bye |
