It might also be worth checking to see if $KDEDIR/share/apps/khotkeys/printscreen.khotkeys has the required content also.

I think that it has the required contents:

Code: Select all

[Data_1_1Triggers0]
Key=Print
Type=SHORTCUT

[Main]
Version=2
ImportId=printscreen


I thought that my keyboard hasn't got the traditional home-row. But that probably isn't as my screen-capture works with alt+printscreen. I just can't start KSnapshot with my printscreen. Or any other KHotKey shortcut, like ctrl+alt+T for konsole...

Just comparing the file at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase ... s?view=log and yours shows many different changes. Do not know if this has anything to do with it though.

Is there anything mentioned in ~/.xsession-errors?

Well this could be the thing:

Code: Select all

plasma(3331) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "findServiceByDesktopPath: /home/primoz/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/printscreen.khotkeys.desktop not found"


Strange I do have this file. Why isn't it finding it?

That could possibly be interfering. Try removing all of the Recent Documents:

Code: Select all

rm -rf $KDEHOME/share/apps/RecentDocuments/

I did, but it didn't help.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem.
Arch Linux with Kdemod 4.2
I can confirm that this issue is still present en Kdemod 3 (aka legacy)
So I think it must be some missconfiguration.

Good to hear I'm not only one. Did you posted a bug on Chakra-Project site?
Should I post it?

Just realized i have this problem too. Only i also have all my khotkeys listed twice and none of them work. Only noticed now when i tried to use prtscn. Gonna have a look on the chakra site about this.

I haven't submitted any bug reports neither started a thread at KdeMod website.
This is what I've tried so you don't lose time doing the same:
Going back to KdeMod3
Installing Kde3 (vanilla)
Installink Kde4(vanilla)
Re-installing KdeMod4
Nothing worked.
@Primoz think you should submit a bug report

There is a workaround for this bug, it's just so that I don't have it. Before posting this bug I want to be sure if I'm the only one with it or is this the part of bug.
Workaround:
On Arch forums it was suggested that I should go to System Settings --> Input Actions --> Present Actions --> PrintScreen and select "Print".
But strangely I don't have it. I'm more than confused. And that's not on KDEmod KDE4.2.1 I've installed a vanilla KDE4.2.1 and I was still unable to find that.
Here's how my input actions look like:


Do you have this option? If so any ideas why I don't have it?

Nope, I don't have that option either, also, I don't have the konqueror gestures but that has nothing to do with it.

EDIT: I think I got it, here's what I did:
1.- Open kmenuedit (alt+F2 and type kmenuedit)
2.- Select the aplication you're looking for
3.- Go to "Advanced" tab
4.- Assign a shortcut
5.- The short-cut should now be working

If you have no problems with this solution, then I think it is due to a bug in kdehotkeys, so if it worked to you, submit a bug report and create a thread about a "temporary" fix. (If it worked give some credit in the thread )

xXZeroXx, you're a genius. That worked for me. Maybe that's the reason we only have Kmenuedit in input actions? Is it supposed to be done that way now or something?

Woo! That worked! Thanks xXZeroXx you are indeed a genius.
