           Summary: can't bind many keys with new style Settings > Configure
                    Shortcuts dialog
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugs at adamspiers.org


Version:           4.1.0 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

In korganizer 3.5, I could bind shortcuts to letters, numbers, punctuation etc.
 The new style of dialog window brought up by Settings > Configure Shortcuts
doesn't let me do this: if I click on Custom and type one of these keys nothing
happens.

This looks similar to bug #101064 except that

  - #101064 applied to korganizer 3.4
  - In 3.4, apparently it would pop up an error dialog saying something like
"In order to use the 'j' key as a shortcut, it must be combined with the Win,
Alt, Ctrl, and/or Shift keys."  

In 4.1.0, there is no such warning.  Even if there was, I think it would be
unjustified because my existing key bindings (inherited from an upgrade from
KDE 3.5) already have 'M' bound to month view, 'D' bound to day view etc. and
they work just fine.

In case it's of use, my ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/korganizerui.rc finishes
with:

 <ActionProperties>
  <Action shortcut="Right" name="go_next" />
  <Action shortcut="Left" name="go_previous" />
  <Action shortcut="Period" name="go_today" />
  <Action icon="reload" name="update" />
  <Action shortcut="D" name="view_day" />
  <Action shortcut="L" name="view_list" />
  <Action shortcut="M" name="view_month" />
  <Action shortcut="3" name="view_nextx" />
  <Action shortcut="W" name="view_week" />
  <Action shortcut="5" name="view_workweek" />
 </ActionProperties>
</kpartgui>

I guess I can edit this manually but this solution is obviously not ideal for
most users.
