The Current Scheme

There is also a "Current Scheme", which tops the list in the drop down menu where these are selected. In MEPIS, this is, initially, a different scheme from the other 7. I have not been able to find its definition file. If you care about preserving it, you should save it under its own name ("Scheme-00" works for me) before you start customizing.

BTW, IIRC, the initial "Current Scheme" in KDE 3.3.2 on SimplyMEPIS 3.3.2 was "KDE Default for 3 Modifier Keys".

How I found them

Locating the files involved 2 educated guesses -- probable directory & a unique content string. For the probable directory, I chose /usr/share/. For the unique content string, I chose 'Walk Through Desktops ('. Putting these together: 
$ grep -R  'Walk Through Desktops ('   /usr/share/*   2>/dev/null
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/wm3.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=none
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/kde4.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=Win+Shift+Tab
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/kde3.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=none
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/mac4.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=Alt+Shift+Tab
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/unix3.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=none
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/win3.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Tab
/usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/win4.kksrc:Walk Through Desktops (Reverse)=Win+Shift+Tab

Here I got very lucky -- 3 great pieces of info. for the price of one:

  • the location:  /usr/share/apps/kcmkeys/,
  • the std. file ext.:  .kksrc,
  • & the file names of the 7 stock schemes.

Now I can run a   locate .kksrc  | less -S   & discover that my customizations are found in   /.kde/share/apps/kcmkeys/

Which is Which

I will leave it to those who are interested to examine the files' contents for the details ot their structure. I wanted to know which file contained which scheme:

grep ^Name=   | sed -r 's,(^.)(:.*=)(.*$),| \3  |\1|,'
produced the essence of the following table: 

Scheme File Name

 KDE Default for 4 Modifier Keys   kde4.kksrc 
 Mac Scheme   mac4.kksrc

  KDE Shortcuts Files 

Notes on where KDE stores its  
  KControl | Regional & Accessibility | Keyboard Shortcuts   
settings, how I found them, & some custom settings.



 Page Contents 






 System Notes  

I run SimplyMEPIS 3.3.2, 6.0, & 6.5.02. 
This was researched & written using MEPIS 6.0 & 6.5.02, running KDE 3.5.3  



  KDE Keyboard Shortcuts 

KDE Keyboard Shortcuts are a useful feature that allows you, the user, to bypass the mouse 
& do things directly w/o having to use multiple clicks.  
They are configured in the KDE Control Center (Alt+F2 kcontrol):  
  KControl | Regional & Accessibility | Keyboard Shortcuts
