I have created a custom shortcut with

Code: Select all

System Settings -> Custom Shortcuts -> New Global Shortcut -> Send Keyboard Input

Basically, I want to remap ctrl+s hit into ctrl+f globally. This works fine everywhere except IntelliJ (and Android Studio, which share the same engine). In IntelliJ the ctrl+s shortcut is not just unmapped, it becomes dead: whenever I hit ctrl+s, no signal is received by IntelliJ.
I have tried to exclude IntelliJ from the area of influence of this shortcut, for this I have created a window rule:


but to no avail. I think I have tried each and every combination of Window Data dialog parameters (different title, window class and window type values, from autodetect and entered manually) but this seem to have no effect on IntelliJ - ctrl+s is still dead.

Maybe someone has faced similar issue? Is there a workaround?

I just downloaded Android Studio, i'm on an updated KDE 14.04.

So i also have this problem, wiich is very annoying because i use custom shortcuts for < and >

The gui and feature seems a bit unmaintained.

The core problem is that "IntilliJ" apparently does not accept synthetic events - consider calling a process instead and make it call "xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+f" (xdotool does create non-synthetic events)
