well, it is a de facto standard for "cursor to beginning of line" in Unix
- and so does Qt handle it. So far, we cannot change accelerators, used in
Qt widgets itself, but this will change in Qt 2.1. Then, we can use
whatever action, as long as I can configure it to "beginning of line" :o)

Yes, I quite like this one! IMHO it should work for the first search as
well, e.g. "if we already have a search string" -> "use this one to find
the next occurrence from current position" and "if there is no search
string" -> "just open default search dialog as with Ctrl-F".
  

PS: did anyone ever notice that kpanel's position can be moved just by
dragging and dropping it to a different edge (watch the cursor to find
out which one)? Just found that out by accident :-D
