Hi there,
I am trying to get my script to register a global hotkey (or "accel" key,
should I rather say) under KDE 3.4.3. I am using KGlobalAccel, but without
any success.
All that I have achieved so far is either:
- freezing the app (and the keyboard, globally!) after I hit the accel key;
- crashing the app when I hit the accel key;
- or some other similar nice behaviour.
(the code provided below)
I must point out, though, that I am quite new to Python, and a total noob to
programming GUI apps in it.
Any help/pointers appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
P.S.
The code I use is:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import time
from kdecore import *
from qt import *
from kdeui import KMainWindow
# the tester
def tester():
print '=== TESTER === TESTER === TESTER ==='
pass
class MainWin (KMainWindow):
def __init__ (self, *args):
apply (KMainWindow.__init__, (self,) + args)
# create the hotkey object
print 'start'
shortcut = KShortcut('F11')
if shortcut == None:
print 'no, sir!'
else:
print shortcut.toString()
accelObject = KGlobalAccel(self)
accelObject.insert("Tester", "Tester AccelKey", "A tester accel
key",
shortcut, shortcut, tester)
accelObject.updateConnections()
pass
appName = "tester"
app = KApplication (sys.argv, appName)
mainWindow = MainWin (None, "main window")
app.exec_loop()
