Re: Alt+Esc in Games

A similar question: In some situations in KDE 3, such as when you have a menu (e.g. K menu or Konqueror menu) open or when you have dropped down a "combo" box (e.g. the address field in Konqueror), global keyboard shortcuts are somehow grabbed and do not work. This means for instance that the volume -/+ keys on my notebook are inoperative. It would be very nice if this were resolved for KDE 4.

I would be happy to file a bug (if one does not exist) if someone just told me which component of the system is responsible for this behaviour.

I've always placed bug reports using my intuition. The bug "handlers" can then re-assign them if they feel they belong somewhere else. It is better to have a misplaced bug report than none at all.

True, this is an annoying problem. I must admit I never thought about reporting it...

Oh. That explains this problem I've had with KDE locking up completely when a program starting pops up the KWallet password prompt while I'm typing in Konqueror's address bar. Ctrl+Alt+Bksp has been the only solution :-(

No, I never filed a bug report since I'm using "ancient" 3.4.2...
