- im_down_w_otp 6y agoI've tried and failed to make this work. Its keybinding maps only apply to parts of the KDE she'll itself and the applications distributed along side a given release of KDE that all share the same keybinding remapping infrastructure. Chrome's keybindings don't change. Firefox's don't change. LibreOffice's don't change. Slack's don't change, etc. etc. The end result is a nightmare of even more mishmashed mixes of keybindings depending on whatever window you happen to be in. I've just given up. The only thing I've found to work at all well is to just swap the position of Ctrl and Super, then go through all the KDE shortcuts for stuff like "Take Screenshot", and make them be similar to a Mac, but like "Ctrl + Shift + 3" instead. Then just deal with the annoyance of how weird it is to use my terminal. It's better than the annoyance of every single other thing being a mess. If I could figure out how to remap all the control signals in my terminal to be like Super+c instead of Ctrl+c, then I'd be in good shape.
- macksd 6y agoAh okay. I care mostly about Window Management shortcuts, and that Alt + opens the drop-down menus. I find most other shortcuts I use are application specific or what I thought were global conventions. KDE does have a section called "standard shortcuts" where you can set shortcuts to open up "About" dialogs and several dozen other common actions - but for all I know it's then up to applications to plug into that? I suppose not a lot of developers targeting KDE for the experience...
