Last time I checked under KDE (the one coming with Kubuntu 10.10 - was
that 4.5?) - and that is a minute ago ;) - there /is/ a user settings
panel, in my german localised version it sais
Systemeinstellungen
-> Kurzbefehle und Gestensteuerung
-> Standardkurzbefehle
("Standard shortcuts").
And you /can/ change the shortcut to Copy (normally CTRL + C), Paste,
Print, New, Next Page, ... etc.
Just as indicated by Konstantin Tokarev in the previous thread, where
upon you replied "You are confusing KWin's shortcut settings with
application shortcut recommendations."
Now I think you are confusing things: These "standard shortcuts" (in
their default settings) follow off course their own KDE HIG
recommendations, but the user is free to change them. And every
well-behaving KDE application (which refers to these "standard
shortcuts") then automagically uses those user-defined shortcuts. That's
a fact.
Now the current suggestion is that also Qt does the same with the
standard QKeySequences (*): instead of "hard-coding" those values to the
current HIG recommendations only, check IF there is a
(platform-dependent) setting and take those user-defined shortcuts
instead (where applicable).
Now when you say "this is not changeable", then this is true for OS X,
where indeed I haven't found such an equivalent setting dialog (the
shortcuts you can define in the Mac setttings are for global
desktop-level features only such as Exposé, Minimise Windows etc.). Same
probably on Windows, but I could imagine that at least on Gnome such
settings would exist, just like on KDE.
Cheers, Oliver
(*) I haven't actually tried to a) change such a standard shortcut under
KDE and b) run a Qt application and see whether the corresponding
standard QKeySequence would actually change already - maybe we're
talking about a feature which already exists? :)
