Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3)
OS: Linux
I have been trying to use the calculator key on my Microsoft Multimedia
Pro keyboard to launch kcalc. I tried setting it up as a global
shortcut under custom actions, and through the edit menu dialog.
When I press the Calculator button it is registered in the trigger as
Launch(1) but after clicking apply it doesn't have any effect. Using
another shortcut like Meta+c works as expected.
xev for that key shows the following:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
root 0x107, subw 0x0, time 13592514, (763,758), root:(766,781),
state 0x0, keycode 148 (keysym 0x1008ff1d, XF86Calculator), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Right click K-menu and choose Menu Editor
Click on the KCalc entry
Click Advanced
Click the button beside Current Shortcut Key
Press the Calculator key (Launch(1) will show up on the button)
Click save settings
Press the calculator key
Actual Results:
Nothing
Expected Results:
KCalc should open

A workaround as posted at
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=89602 works for me: In
khotkeysrc and kglobalshortcutsrc I replaced the occurrences of "Launch
(1)" with "Calculator" (while not logged into KDE). After that the
calculator key starts the program assigned to it.

If you do the config file hack to force it manually, the menu editor
correctly displays "Calculator" as the hot key. If you then try to set
it by pressing the calculator key it sets it to Launch(1). Launch(1) is
actually a generic hot key sometimes found as Fn+F2/F3 on laptops.
I have tried this on Microsoft Digital Media keyboard 1.0a and Wireless
desktop 1000. Until someone says otherwise I think it's safe to assume
that it effects all MS keyboards with the calculator key.

Still effects KDE 4.7.1
Can this please be marked as confirmed? It should effect any user with a
Microsoft keyboard.

I'm on Gentoo, KDE 4.7.4
and the problem is still there:
khotkeys stubbornly thinks that the calculator key on all of my keyboards is the "Launch (1)" key
I used a Microsoft ComfortCurve2000, a Logitech k750 and a Logitech k710 all with the same result, so I'm pretty sure it's not hardware related
All other multimedia Keys work as expected

Forgot to mention that for me too manually changing "Launch (1)" with
"Calculator" in both .kde4/share/config/khotkeysrc and
.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc fixes the problem
