  • It works, though I had to use "special window settings" rather than "special application settings". However, it does not ignore my keyboard layout switching shortcut - Alt+Shift. Is there any way to ignore it as well? Commented Jun 15, 2013 at 18:19
  • @IdanArye "special window" applies to the current window only (the one from which you right-clicked), while "special application" applies to all windows related to a specific app, including open file dialog, setting dialog, etc. You may need to completely restart the app (every instance) for the "special application" setting to work. For the keyboard setting, how did you set it? If it is shown in the global shortcut config dialog it should be bypassed as well Commented Jun 15, 2013 at 19:04
  • The "special window" worked and the "special application" didn't."special window" also has matching, so it still works whenever I reopen Emacs. As for the layout switching - I can't set it via the global shortcuts, since it involves only modifier keys(Alt+Shift) and the global shortcut mappings must have at least one regular key. I had to set it via "Input Devices"=>"Keyboard"=>"Layouts" Commented Jun 15, 2013 at 23:43
  • I was just explaining the difference between the two. I'm not sure why the latter doesn't work for you, it works here (kde 4.11). If your keyboard shortcut is not listed in the global shortcut list it will not be bypassed, you have to change it to something that can be listed as a global shortcut.

  • Oh. Well, I'm not gonna change my keymaps(that was the whole point of this question...), but thanks anyways! Commented Jun 16, 2013 at 20:21
