Multimedia keys and shortcuts totally weird
At first all my multimedia keys worked fine (at least after I fixed the double assignment of XF86RaiseVolume in X.org config files). Now the situation is this:
- None of the shortcuts I define in the Control Center work: I have tried using "keyboard shortcuts" and "Input actions" (DCOP and commands). Those just DON'T work.
- I can use Amarok global shortcuts with some of my multimedia keys, but Volume keys and Mute DON'T work if I try to assign them to something. Other keys which don't work when assigning them to commands in "keyboard shortcuts" DO work here.
- Using Kmix Global shortcuts DOESN'T work no matter which keys I try to assign here.
I noticed that the keys don't work, if they are used in two different places in KDE. I have disabled all DCOPs and commands in "Input actions" for the duration of my testing and tried to disable any other duplicates. The problem can be that somewhere there is a setting I haven't found, but how can I find it out? I have checked those places mentioned above.
If anyone has an idea to fix this mess OR even an idea how to try to debug this (what logs to check or activate, some kewl hacking, etc.) then please please please say it!
