Greetings,
I have a bizarre problem binding to a particular key sequence in KDE 3.2.
The problem is that I cannot bind any action to 'Alt+<'. Or more accurately, KDE sees "Alt+Shift+<" as "Alt+Shift+>". I open the Keyboard Shortcuts area of the Control Center, select any global action, and press the "Custom" shortcut key. I press "Alt", "Shift" and "<", but binding that is captured is "Alt+>". I've checked with xev, and all of the keys are translated correctly by X. Also, pressing "Alt", "Shift", and ">" produces the same "Alt+>" shortcut.
Before I report this as a bug, would somebody try to duplicate this on their system, so I know if it is just something unique to my setup?
What keyboard layout are you using?
IIRC, with some keyboard layouts: "Shift+<" is ">".
I'm using keyboard model "HP Internet Keyboard" with the "US English" layout, so '<' is actually produced with "Shift-,", and '>' is produced with "Shift-.".
So in reality, I should have written above "...KDE sees both 'Alt+Shift+,' and 'Alt+Shift+.' as 'Alt->'. It is important to note that I see this with _only_ the keybinding dialog. '<' and '>' are generated correctly for every other KDE application and input. Addtionally, 'Alt+Shift+,' produces no characters in any other KDE application.
