Good News Everybody!

The new search engine is LIVE!

Please report any problems to david (at) midrange.com.





The problem you describe is almost always caused by the window manager 
intercepting the keystrokes.  I realize you said above that you verified 
KDE wasn't interfering, but can you try a different window manager?  That 
will at least let us know if the problem lies elsewhere.

Thanks for replying James - and now it's time for me to eat some crow. 
While I did indeed go through the Regional & Accessibility sections I
failed to do so carefully enough.  Sure enough the Shift + F12
combination was defined in the "Input Actions" section to do something
with voice settings - presumably so that a person could speak a command
and KDE would know what to do.

Sorry for wasting your time!
