Please, don't plug new topics into random threads! I almost missed that.

Not that I knew. Older KDE versions had "keyboardModifiers()" instead of
its successor "keyboardMouseState()". I wouldn't mind taking the obsolete
function (although it's marked "DEPRECATED"), but it didn't work at all.

One way to solve that would be to advice configure to use "keyboardModifiers()"
on older KDE versions and "keyboardMouseState()" on newer ones. (The modifier
feature doesn't work in the former case then, but it compiles at least, and
the selection picker does still work.)

I always found that a separate release cycle for koffice is/was an idiotic
idea.
