           Summary: PATCH: Pop up a sorry messagebox if user selects a
                    CTRL+<key> shortcut.
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: khindenburg at cherrynebula.net


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice) 
OS:          Linux

Konsole sends any CTRL+<key> to the terminal.  This confuses users who pick CTRL+<key> as a shortcut and wonders why the shortcut doesn't work.  There are over 10+ bugs due to this confusion.
This patch adds a sorry messagebox if the user picks a CTRL+<key> as a shortcut.  CTRL+SHIFT+<key> is O.K.  The patch check both PRI/ALT shortcuts.  
This patch does not alter the shortcuts.

This may not be the best approach; but it is better than nothing.
