Wouldn't be better to update and enforce the standards KDE shortcuts in
techbase [1]? I found this page quite useless when one day I asked in kopet=
e
mailing list the reason why the shortcuts to change tabs are Ctrl+, and
Ctrl+. instead of Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown as listed in techbase. The
reason was: it's like this in Konqueror, so it's correct...

Discussing here is not the way to go IMO, we need to create a complete HIG
respected by developers, and a thread in a mailing list don't have high
visibility

They are actually hidden away in the ‘Regional and Language’ category. Not<br>
very logical, is it?<br>
<br>
Also, where would you expect to be able to change the formatting of dates<br>
and times? The ‘Date and Time’ category, perhaps? Nope; it’s in the<br>
‘Regional and Language’ category too.<br>
