[Bug 299914] Re: F12 doesn't bring yakuake window in some cases

[Richard Johnson]

What environment are you running this in? What versions? Do you happen
to know if there are any other applications that are using the F12
shortcut?  There is a README in the packaging that states the following
concerning F12:

----
Once the application is started, simply press F12 (by default) to open
the console.

However, on mac's, F12 is assigned to "right click"

To solve this problem - use the following instructions:

Run Yakuake.

In a terminal, run the command

killall -9 yakuake

This is so that the default configuration files are created (only needed
if you have never ran yakuake before)

Next, edit the following file

~/.kde/share/config/yakuakerc

which should look something like this

        [Options]
        background=true
        focus=false
        height=30
        location=80
        screen=1
        steps=20
        tabs=true
        width=50

Add the following to the file:

        [Global Shortcuts]
        AccessKey=F11

And save the file.

Now, restart yakuake, and you should be able to use the F11 key to access yakuake!

Thanks!
