I just loaded knoppix with KDE 3.2.2 and am delighted that there is now a hotkey setting section in the KDE control center under the keyboard accessibility section. However I wish it worked like it does in windows... in windows 2k, I can assign a hotkey to launch an application, and if it is already launched, then activate that window. For example, I like to use ctrl-alt-Z to start an instance of a notepad editor. In KDE, I can assign a key sequence to activate a window, but the hotkey sequence doesn't seem to be detected by the OS unless I am in certain apps, like konqueror. Specifically, my hotkey sequence that activates my NEDIT editor session does not work when I am in a console shell window, and my hotkey sequence to activate my console shell does not work when I am in my nedit editor session. However both hotkeys work when I am in konqueror. I wonder if there is a way to stop the application from intercepting the hotkey sequence before KDE can process it? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
