Hi Matthijs, I had a similar problem lately with the Alt + Down key, which I use in Nedit to select/find a word. With Reflection-X that worked, moving to Exceed OnDemand, it didn't work anymore. I tried a simple Motif example program, which had the same problem. In the end Hummingbird support did put me on the right track. You need to alter the Exceed us.kbf file. I moved key defs 147 till 153 (Home, Up, Prior, Left, Right, etc) in front of the numeric keys (I put them in between key defs 44 and 45). I don't really understand the kbf file and the relation with Nedit, but it worked for me.

We've recently been migrated from one system to another system: The PCs (running Windows XP) haven't changed, but we've moved from using Reflection-X to Exceed-on-demand. At the same time we've migrated to new Linux login-servers and a lot of configuration stuff has been reset. So a lot of changes making it difficult to trace the cause of the problem. Linux system: Red Hat something, using KDE as desktop environment. What I found out during my own investigation: - NEdit *does* receive the keyboard codes. When I define a macro (Preferences->Default Settings->Customize Menus->Macro Menu), I can set the accelerator keyboard shortcut to Alt+Left. But the shortcut doesn't do anything after defining it. - I tried to define it manually by adding: NEdit*text.Translations: #override\n\ Alt<KeyPress>Right: next_document()\n\ ... to the NEdit application defaults file. No luck. - The khotkeysrc config file also had a few Alt+Right shortcuts. Removing them (then restarting KDE) didn't have any effect. - I even copied my old $HOME/.kde/share/config to my new Linux home directory - no effect. So it seems something is stealing the Alt+Left/Right keypresses away from NEdit (although they *do* arrive when defining a macro). How can I find the cause and repair this?
