Are keyboard shortcuts working for you?

[Guest]

I right clicked on the K menu and then clicked on Menu editor ..
In there, after choosing an application on the left, I chose the Advanced tab on the right and assigned it a keyboard shortcut .. Then clicked on Save and closed the menu editor ..
But the shortcut isn't working ? I even tried restarting the system ..
how else would you assign shortcuts to individual apps?

Apparently, at least for the moment, in Intrepid Ibex, you can't.

I tried doing so this evening. I experienced the same thing. The setting appears to be saved - I can go back in and see that it is - but the designated shortcut does not work.

Are you listening developers?

is there perhaps another program we can use to do this?

Same issue for me. I'm really missing that feature since I've installed KDE 4.
Specially to quickly open a terminal (Konsole).

Have you tried Yakuake for quick terminal access? Once you install it a quick F12 drops the terminal down, and F12 makes it roll right back up. Very handy.

Thank you so much! I never heard about Yakuake before. It's exactly what I need. It's even better than the multitab Konsole I was using before.
