Hot-keys do not work in the newly installed Fedora 21 (KDE 4.14.6). The problem mainly manifests itself with combinations in which there are more than two keys ( ctrl + shift + tab , ctrl + shift + del , etc), but also freshly installed yakuake is not called by F12 .

How can this be fixed? Or a more general question - how and where in general in Fedor hotkeys are configured?

    language switch - ctrl + shift? - KoVadim
  • @KoVadim yes, precisely - Andrey Shishkin

    a known bug that is not fixed, since the English-speaking switching is not necessary, and all the others switched to CapsLock. I personally use CapsLock and am very pleased. - KoVadim

    @KoVadim Also, a colleague on Ubuntu + KDE works perfectly with ctrl + shift, and what about the transition to Windows? - Andrey Shishkin

    I have not used KDE for many years, but, for example, XFCE has a global shortcut, and if you add F12 there, then other programs will not be able to use it. See “System Settings> Input Actions”. By the way, it is quite possible that you have zabindeno something in the form of "maximize the window in the floor of the screen" and the like. - KoVadim

In KDE, if you open the main menu (by the type of how to press the "Start" button in Windows) there is an item in one of the tabs, called "System settings" (in the local KDE "System Settings" ).

So there should be such a point as "Shortcuts and Gestures" ( "Shortcut Keys and Flips" ). Going into it, on the left in the panel there are three different menus. You need to select "Custom Shortcut" .

In the menu to the right you see the various folders (column with the name "Name") - choose "Examples". Next - either PCM or below there is an item "edit", choose: "new" -> "global shortcut" -> "Command\URL" - hang up a custom hotkey for some command, like dolphin \ chrome \ etc .. .

You can also play around with the rest of the items in the "global shortcut" sub-item.

ps I use Debian 8.2 myself, but it costs KDE 4. So, I hope that it helped.
