I straced kglobalaccel, and it shows no activity when the calculator key is pressed, while it properly reacts to other global shortcuts normally.
Perhaps kglobalaccel doesn't properly translate from the string "Launch (1)" (which is the one saved in the configuration) to the keycode that it must register with X11 to intercept the keypress. Changing "Launch (1)" to "Calculator" in the config files and restarting kglobalaccel as suggested in comment #2 DOESN'T work for me, I don't know why. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661829 Title: Cannot set up a trigger for the Calculator key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kde-runtime/+bug/661829/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
