Hi

Khotkeys and Input Actions is broken in 4.1 it will have some
improvements in 4.2 don't know exactly what.
For short don't configure anything in Input actions or the Khotkeys in
the dropdown box in keyboard settings as it will mess thing up. I had
to delete the the configure files to be able to use keyboard shortcuts
after playing with the settings.
Use ksnapshot as suggested.
