KDE Shortcuts Files
Notes on where KDE stores its
KControl | Regional & Accessibility | Keyboard Shortcuts
settings, how I found them, & some custom settings.
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
There are 7 stock "Schemes" provided:
- KDE Default for 3 Modifier Keys
- KDE Default for 4 Modifier Keys
- Mac Scheme
- UNIX Scheme
- Windows Scheme (Without Win Key)
- Windows Scheme (With Win Key)
- WindowMaker (3 Modifier Keys)
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".
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/
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= *
kde3.kksrc:Name=KDE Default for 3 Modifier Keys
kde4.kksrc:Name=KDE Default for 4 Modifier Keys
mac4.kksrc:Name=Mac Scheme
unix3.kksrc:Name=UNIX Scheme
win3.kksrc:Name=Windows Scheme (Without Win Key)
win4.kksrc:Name=Windows Scheme (With Win Key)
wm3.kksrc:Name=WindowMaker (3 Modifier Keys)
grep ^Name= | sed -r 's,(^.)(:.*=)(.*$),| \3 |\1|,'
produced the essence of the following table:
| Scheme | File Name |
|---|
| KDE Default for 3 Modifier Keys | kde3.kksrc |
| KDE Default for 4 Modifier Keys | kde4.kksrc |
| Mac Scheme | mac4.kksrc |
| UNIX Scheme | unix3.kksrc |
| Windows Scheme (Without Win Key) | win3.kksrc |
| Windows Scheme (With Win Key) | win4.kksrc |
| WindowMaker (3 Modifier Keys) | wm3.kksrc |
(Suitable for downloading, by me for instance to a new system :-))
