i wondered why this post, as i had answered this question.

problem is that at some time, for what ever reason, i had inverted 'date'
column in 'unsent' box.

when i work email, i will download, then go 'offline' and go thru all that is
new and as i read, i click reply to what i intend to reply to.

when reply window comes up, i click 'send later, putting reply in 'unsent'.

after reading all, i go to 'unsent' and make replies. some times, before
finishing a reply, i may click 'send later' again to check on what i am
replying to. in case of your post, i did this to make sure that i was recalling
'menu editor' correctly and test what i was suggesting.

after checking, i pulled your email with 'edit as new' and did some more
cutting of post and cut last of post. i then pulled original, c&p question
and did some more writing, clicked 'send later' again so that i could take a
'time out' and take care of my mom [she is 94 and uses a walker] and get her
to bed.

much later, just before sending emails, i went back to 'unsent', where there
were around 7 email waiting to be sent. with your finial email being at top
of list and thinking it was first, not noticing time stamp, i deleted it.

brought internet back up, put tbird back online and sent emails. when my
reply came back in, i looked at it and noted my 'oops' made correction, sent
correction. being late and tired as i was, last part of reply did not register
with me that it was missing...

so, after this long, here comes short that i left out, you may not be able to.

i check thru _all_ of what is under '/proc/*' and i could not find anything
relating to storage of configs for keyboard or mouse.

therefore, kde keeps such information in a 'private buffer' and is not
readily accessible thru '/proc/*'.

this means that to do what you want would require reading kde source and then
locating where this buffer is kept. then make changes.

this may not be possible as it is with changing some monitor setting that
require a restart as it is also with some of network settings and a few
other configurations.

to answer for sure, as i say, it would take reading source to see how things
are handled. this is something that i do not have time to go thru to find out
for sure.

therefore,

1) run a google-linux search, if you have not already, to see if anyone else
has tried to do what you want.

2) look thru credits for kde writers to see who wrote this part of source and
see if you can contact them.

3) send a 'wish' to kde and see if they have time to change source to meet
your needs.

4) be patient and wait to see if someone else can give you an answer.

5) restart kde.


good luck.
