khotkeys and media keys

Hi All,

it seems that Qt has improved enough to recognize more media-keys on my
keyboard. In the past trying to bind some of the media buttons would
have generated an "unknown code" in qt. What is missing now is a proper
action in consequence of the pressing, I have bound two keys to dolphin
and amarok respectively and even if the bindings are listed in
systemsettings under global shortcuts -> khotkeys, when I press the
buttons nothing happens. The keys are recognized by xev and Qt as:
XF86Explorer -> Browser
XF86Tools -> Tools
Has anyone been able to use these keycodes in combination with KDE4?
Cheers

Valerio

 Hi Valerio,

 Well spotted.  I went into khotkeys too, hoping to be able to
 (finally) configure my keyboard to work as it did under KDE3,
 but alas it only partially recognises the Logitech G15's extra
 keys, and seems to be profoundly confused about the keys that
 it does actually detect.

 The G15 has three blocks of six keys - G1-G18.  On MS-XP it can
 also recognise the M1/M2/M3 buttons, which basically let you
 have three different configurations for those 18 buttons.  Plus
 you can use a MR button to record macros.  The M buttons didn't
 work for me under KDE3, so I'm less annoyed about that aspect.

 Anyhoo .. like you, I can't get much joy of the normal extra buttons.

 It seems to think they are just things like Home, Reload, ScrollUp
 and so on.  Most of the buttons report as NoSymbol using xev,
 and in khotkeys those are the ones that continue to report the
 'qt doesn't have a clue' error message.

 Jedd.
