I recently switched from GNOME 3 to KDE 5, and I found myself accidentally pressing Escape when holding the left Control key. It does not happen under any other desktop environments. How do I stop kwhatheverd from doing that?

  • Does this occur in all of your apps? Just asking because for some apps like vim, which requires extensive use of the escape key, this might be considered a really Wizzy feature.

  • Yes, it occurs everywhere. I don't use Vim that intensively, and I doubt it would be a noticeable improvement due to the fact it requires a longer press (about a second). Jul 17, 2016 at 0:44

I am now officially an idiot.

I use KSuperKey to access KRunner faster. And while setting up my desktop I thoughtlessly copied this snippet from ksuperkey's README:

ksuperkey -e 'Control_L=Escape;Super_L=Alt_L|F2'

After I finally realized I have removed the first item so it looks this way:

ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F2'

Problem solved.
