[GRLUG] KDE question (shortcuts)

[jjfoerch at earthlink.net]

Hi,

  I use the default alt-f2 to bring up the Run dialog.  I
would expect Control-R to conflict with key bindings in a
lot of programs.  Speaking of the run dialog, here is
something I love about that dialog box:

  right click on the text box in the dialog
  select "Text Completion -> Short Automatic" from the menu.
