ui.rc shortcuts problem

----------  Forwarded Message  ----------
Originally sent to: KDE games development

For some reason the shortcut keys in the KGoldrunner game
have stopped working during the last week or two.  This
prevents
play in keyboard mode and also disables pausing the game.
I've googled high and low but found no mention of a format
change in ui.rc files --- or even any doco of the old format


The problem seems to be with assigning two keys to an
action,
a primary and an alternate.  Here's an example, an action
under
the <Action Properties> tag in my ui.rc file:

    <Action shortcut="Right;L"         
name="move_right" />

These alternates are set up for two-handed and one-handed
keyboard playing styles.

If I use Settings->Configure Shortcuts to restore the
missing
keyboard assignments, it works for one session, but stores
the new assignments in ~/.kde/.../kgoldrunnerui.rc in the
same
format I have used above --- so it fails again next session
:-(

Any ideas?  My ui.rc file is attached.  The keyboard
assignments
are near the end of the file.

This is caused by removing (rev. 608178):

  // Needed for save/load of shortcut - as XMLGui sets
properties from 
XML attributes
  // FIXME KAction port : replace (this hides
QAction::shortcut)
  Q_PROPERTY( QString shortcut READ shortcutText WRITE
setShortcutText )

from KAction. Now QAction's property is used which can't
handle ';'.

BTW, in the "Settings->Configure Shortcuts"
dialog all actions seem to 
contain ';'.


Cheers,
André
