Bug is upstream in KDE4. Michael Jansen confirms (http://michael- jansen.biz/blog/mike/2009-05-18/kde-common-problems-ctrlw-shortcut- doesnt-work-app-xyz) that KHotkeys steals CTRL-w input.
Workaround is suggested in System-Settings -> Input Actions. For Kubuntu Karmic, removing the rule under Examples -> Map Ctrl-W to Ctrl-F4 in Konqueror (or similar) resolved the issue for me. Reassigned to kdebase. ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #190412 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190412 ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #193085 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193085 -- Firefox: Ctrl-W doesn't close window or tab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
