[Bug 271622] Re: keyboard shortcut for Application Launcher in kde 4 stopped working

[Hendy Irawan]

The "proper" solution is strange:

1. Right click the K Menu / Kickoff, click "Application Launcher Settings"
2. Click "Keyboard Shortcut", assign "Alt+F1", when it says it conflicts with Plasma Workspace Application Launcher, simply click through
3. Click OK and voila! You have your Alt+F1 again

And this doesn't make you lose any of your desktop settings. :-)

PS. This still happens with KDE 4.2 on PPA repository. (Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10)
$ aptitude show kdeplasma-addons
Package: kdeplasma-addons
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa2

The offending lines (diff format) are here in ".kde/share/config/plasma-
appletsrc":

[Containments][3][Applets][4][Shortcuts]
-global=Alt+F1
