KDE4 keyboard shortcuts not working (Alt+F2, Ctrl+Esc, PrtSc...)
Hi, this is a kubuntu gutsy pc,
I installed a clean kde4.0 from ppa.
it's always updated and upgraded
I use kataput very often in 3.5.8, I expected keyboard shortcuts like alt+f2 to show krunner in kde4 but it does not.
krunner is running yet in the background, and it shows when I run it in a terminal.
Also:
Ctrl+Esc does not show ksysguard (I don't know the name for kde4 version)
PrtSc does not show ksnapshot
"Win" key does not show the kmenu, as i'd like to
Also trying to modify it in the systems preferences under the keyboard and mouse menu does not work.
It does not matter the key combinations assignated
I removed kde4-core (remove followed by autoremove), then deleted both my ~./kde and ~/.kde4 folders. Reinstalled kde4-core and rebooted. When I activated special effects I left improved alt-tab unchecked. Shortcuts work fine now.
I noticed previously that shortcuts only worked if I left the shortcuts configuration window up in the background...

I got the same, but only after installing (Italian) localization (before everything worked fine). The same for bug #182719 for German one. I fixed setting Italian locale and languages, and automatically kded4 loaded kdedglobalaccel module.
This is the same bug, duplicated. Now I include it here /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ meta-kde4/ +bug/183047

As seen here (I copy and paste the text) this is an unresolved bug software- libre.rudd- o.com/KDE_ 4.0.0_emergency _FAQ#Global_ shortcuts_ .28ALT. 2BF2_for_ KRunner. 2C_ALT. 2BTab.2C_ etc.29_ aren.27t_ working. 3F.21
http://
Global shortcuts (ALT+F2 for KRunner, ALT+Tab, etc) aren't working?!
Several people have mentioned this. This is an unexpected bug, it could be that:
1. kded is not running, or
2. that the GlobalAccel KDED module is not loaded.
The latter issue can be determined by issuing
qdbus org.kde.kded
from konsole and seeing if KdedGlobalAccel appears in the output. If you get Service 'org.kde.kded' does not exist. you may issue
kded4
to restart the daemon, followed by
qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadModule kdedglobalaccel
to try to load the module. If KdedGlobalAccel does not appear, then you have this problem, a fix isn't know, yet.
There is a bug report filed at bugs.kde.org: http:// bugs.kde. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=155429

As seen at http:// bugs.kde. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=155429 share/config/ kglobalshortcut src and then Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
I deleted ~/.kde4/
Now it is working properly
