           Summary: Can't set shortcut for Plasma Dictionary Widget
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: plasma-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: octavian.voicu@gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

All widgets usually have a settings dialogue accessible either via the settings
icon or via context menu (the NAME Settings option). Most have at least a
shortcut assignment in this dialogue.

The Dictionary widget has no such settings dialogue. This is really useful
since you can put the widget as an icon on a panel and assign a shortcut that
would open the widget and allow you to quickly search for words.

I compared Dictionary sources with Calculator sources since they are very
similar (both classes are extended from the PopupApplet class). Calculator has
the settings dialogue with the shortcut key assignment. I couldn't find
anything that explicitly enabled it in the sources, nor could I find something
that explicitly disabled it in the Dictionary sources.

I noticed in the sources that the Dictionary applet should display a settings
dialogue based on which engine is used for retrieving words. Unfortunately,
there's no settings dialogue at all. I even tried commenting out all the code
that was related to this custom configuration part, but still got no settings
option.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Does it happen only for me? This applies both to
the KDE 4.3 RC3 release and the latest trunk version.

Thank you
