I want to use a combination that avoids alphabetic/punctuation characters because that way I have a consistent physical position on different layouts. Control_R+Menu fits that requirement and is also located at a very convenient position.
This combination used to work in KDE 3.5 for the global kxkb
switch action, or any keyboard action for that matter. In KDE 4, trying to assign Menu
by pressing the Menu key always activates the keyboard trap widget's context menu, in this case giving me the What's this? context help.
How do I work around that problem? Alternatively, do you have a snippet that I can paste into $HOME/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc
and which works?
Accepting you pro forma because it's close enough and the bounty expires tomorrow. Of course I use a modern key mapper instead of xmodmap. The future shall reveal whether I really can dispense with a logical Menu key or whether this will turn out to be a mistake. – daxim – 2010-02-15T01:37:13.880
