[Solved] Setting keyboard shortcuts

AG · 2011-07-30 09:04:52

I want to launch a terminal window (konsole) using a particular key combo, but it isn't clear to me how I go about doing this. Can someone point me in the right direction of some current documentation please?

Cheers

Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts.

That's what I tried originally ...

I click on "Add" and in the text box that asks for the command, I type in konsole and hit OK. Then I get a second dialog box that simply repeats the word "konsole" with no other opportunities to associate this with any key combo. The only option is to click "cancel".

I assume something different is supposed to happen?

You're supposed to press your shortcut combo at that point smile .

hello,
like AG, the first time i set up keyboard shortcuts, i didn't know what to do after the second window, and i canceled.
perhaps, it would be better if more information is added to the window like press the key combo.

And that worked! Thanks.

This is quite an obtuse procedure. Pls try to clarify in the available docs.

Thanks stqn

We don't have time to write docs ;-). Volunteering?
