KDE has a nice way to change "trapped keys", by means of kcontrol -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Shortcut Schemes -> Global Shortcuts (or -> Shortcut Sequences or...) When I left-click a line and select "None", happily KDE still remembers the default key (shortcut) that was assigned. I request that the shortcut still be shown, but grayed-out, where it was on the line (currently, it disappears from the line). REASON: For an individual shortcut, if one remembers the line, one can find out what the shortcut was by selecting the line and reading down in the bottom of the window. But it is hard to *find* a shortcut, since most lines don't have default keys, and one has to test them one-by-one. Also, the grayed-out version makes it easy to get an overview of how default keys are assigned to groups of related actions. And the user can tell-at-a-glance which actions have dft shortcuts. The graying-out is consistent with the way that KDE menus work, including those in the Control Center.
This request is not Gentoo specific, but rather addressed at one aspect of the KDE environment, so the right place for it is in the KDE bugzilla. Please send a report here: http://bugs.kde.org. Thanks.
The "What is all of this?" on http://bugs.gentoo.org/ leads to a page which says Welcome to gentoo.org's bug reporting system. This system is used as a database for reporting and maintaining bugs that deal with many aspects of Gentoo Linux. For more information on Gentoo Linux, please visit our homepage. Please note that bugs should be posted here first before moving upstream. In other words, don't bother the original package maintainers before you bother us. Our development team will move the necessary bugs upstream if needed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (emphasis added) If you haven't already forwarded it, I prefer that you (Gentoo Bugzilla) move the bug upstream. I'd rather report bugs in only one place, and let the experts forward them as they judge. Thank you.
We care for critical bugs or security issues, but we have not nearly the ressources to forward every bug. Regarding enhancement requests it doesn't even make sense, since we'd need to pass possible questions between the upstream developers and you.
I see your point about the enhancements; I'll try to learn the KDE bug system. Ta.
I forwarded the request to the KDE Bug Tracking System
