How come i can't set Alt+F4 as a gesture under khotkeys?
Hi!
I'm not sure why but i can't seem to set Alt+F4 as a mouse gesture from kcontrol>accessibility . Other gestures work fine though. I asked some people and it was reproducible. Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Probably because Alt+F4 is the global shortcut for Close (the window).
(KControl > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts)

I think u've misinterpreted me.. apologise for my poor explanation. I want to set up a mouse gesture that will do alt+F4 i.e close the window but I'm not sure why it doesn't work when all other mouse gestures do. The settings are in accessibility>input actions.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thx in advance!

Why the heck do you mimic ms- windows?

Hi
I'm not imitating windows for the sake of it.. it's just what i'm used to and i don't see a point of changing it. The problem is that i can set mouse gestures for practically any function to do with closing a window. Closing a tab(Ctrl+W) works fine as do all other gestures i've set under the input actions in kcontrol. I've even tried alt+esc as an alternative to alt+f4 for closing windows and tried setting that as a mouse gesture to no avail. Can anyone else reproduce this?
Thanks in advance!

it was not about you mate. i was just wondering why makeing alt+f4 a default shortcut for closing a windows? is a ctrl+d not good enough?
thx

Actually, Ctrl+D just closes terminal sessions. In Konqueror, Ctrl+D infacts duplicates the whole window. Ctrl+Q seems to be the default shortcut for Quit in most Linux apps. Firefox, unfortunately, doesn't follow that, and still uses Alt+F4.
@islamguidedotcom: sorry I couldn't offer any suggestions. I'm not really familiar with the whole gestures thing...

Er... never mentioned about
me choosing Alt+F4 as the default shortcut for close. I'm not even the one who's asking for help. I'm just saying that Firefox is an example of an application that doesn't use the Ctrl+Q shortcut, whether in GNOME or in KDE.
I don't even use Firefox except on the rare occasion that Konqueror won't display a page properly.

Solved!
Ah I tink the problem lies in the "Quit" key shortcut which isn't set in most apps. After manually setting that to Alt+Ah I tink the problem lies in the "Quit" key shortcut which isn't set in most apps. After manually setting that to Alt+F4 it works. This is quite weird though since pressing the keyboard shortcut alt+F4 manually works for each window but the gestures won't without assigning the shortcut to quit.
Should be fixed though.. took some frusrating hours figuring that out..
