           Summary: Kontact / Korganizer 'double' shortcuts / shortcut
                    conflicts need to be fixed
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.3
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: homoludens1000 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I've noticed this problem with the Kontact's / Korganizer's management of
shortcuts starting with the first version KDE 4:

In the 'Configure shortcuts dialog', a lot of actions (such as 'create new
...', define shortcuts, etc.) appear in both the sections for Kontact as well
as for Korganizer, and with the same shortcut.

This apparently creates shortcut conflicts because trying to use one of these
'double' shortcut usually yields an error message 'The key sequence xxx is
ambiguous ... No action will be triggered', making the shortcuts useless.

I'm not sure what the rationale was for having double entries / shortcuts for
the same action in Kontact and in Korganizer, but this apparently needs to be
changed.

Redefining these shortcuts is not really an option because (1) it doesn't make
sense to have more than 1 shortcut for the same action, and (2) some shortcuts
are not defined by Kontact in the first place, but are system-wide (e.g. I have
a system-wide shortcut <F11> for 'Configuring shortcuts'; fiddling with this
one in Kontact is likely to create confusion and/or problems).
