Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

I've defined several shortcut keys in the menu editor, e.g., Meta+W for starting Firefox or Meta+E for starting Emacs. None of these work, however.

If Konsole has focus, pressing Meta+E will not launch Emacs. Instead, the Konsole window will receive the letter 'e'.

Shortcuts defined via System Settings (e.g., Meta+Backspace for killing the current window) work just fine, though.

This bug has been reported upstream, where it has been ignored so far (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233260).

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233260
Once fixed in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the fix is in in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
