Snowhog Registered Member Posts 198 Karma 1 OS	[SOLVED] Spaces not honored in Shortcut Sat May 15, 2010 11:28 pm Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 KDE 4.4.3 I've created an Input Action in System Settings > Input Actions > Konqueror Gestures I've assigned the shortcut trigger as Ctrl+Meta+S The action is: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u: :Shift+U:s:e:r: :Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 Note that there are two spaces. The output is supposed to be: Kubuntu User #15733 But when Ctrl+Meta+S is pressed, it produces: KubuntuUser#15733 A space is supposed to be created by pressing the space bar, which I've done, so why isn't the space being honored?

Snowhog Registered Member Posts 198 Karma 1 OS	Re: Spaces not honored in Shortcut Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:34 pm I've solved this on my own. While the instructions indicate that a space inserted between colons as in : : is supposed to generate a space, it does not, and why I reported it on bug.kde.org. Today I decided to simply type the word Space between the colons as in :Space: to see if that would work. It did. So my original Input action of: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u: :Shift+U:s:e:r: :Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 Which produced: KubuntuUser#15733 Has been modified to read as: Shift+K:u:b:u:n:t:u:Space:Shift+U:s:e:r:Space:Shift+3:1:5:7:3:3 which now correctly produces: Kubuntu User #15733 Administrator Kubuntu Forums .

I'm not aware of any, and it really should be fixed. This feature is completely defined by the behaviour of QKeySequence, by the way. But unfortunately that class is not documented very thoroughly regarding such things.
Snowhog Registered Member Posts 198 Karma 1 OS	Re: Spaces not honored in Shortcut Mon Jul 26, 2010 4:25 am No true 'documentation', but in Configure Input Actions settings > Examples > Type 'Hello' there is, which I was using, this: After pressing Alt+Ctrl+H the input of 'Hello' will be simulated, as if you typed it. This is especially useful if you have call to frequently type a word (for instance, 'unsigned'). Every keypress in the input is separated by a colon ':'. Note that the keypresses literally mean keypresses, so you have to write what you would press on the keyboard. In the table below, the left column shows the input and the right column shows what to type. "enter" (i.e. new line)..............Enter or Return a (i.e. small a).....................A A (i.e. capital a)...................Shift+A : (colon)............................Shift+; ' ' (space).........................Space I interpreted the space to be a space (press space bar once) between the colons. Maybe I read to much into the commentary in the example, but what ever. I have it working and that's what matters. Administrator Kubuntu Forums . Net - https://kubuntuforums.net
