[SOLVED] What are these funny characters in Konqueror?

Hi guys,

another question from the ever so curious Linux noob.
Sometimes when hitting CTRL I get these funny character labels in Konqueror. I even did right now. Check this out:

What is that and how can I turn it off? Is it a function for handicapped people who can't use a mouse or something?

Cheers,
Blackhole

P.S.: As always: I'm using Konqueror 4.2.00

I think so. Do you have any kdeaccessibility installed (for vanilla KDE),  or any kdemod-kdeaccessibility-* packages installed (for KDEmod)?

*grins* Ranguvar my saviour. Are there any other people active in this forum??!! ^^ Not that I would need them, as long as you are around. ;-)

I haven't installed any of those packages by purpose, maybe the came through a dependency. I'm back in Windows XP now, but I will check later. So I assume, you don't happen to know how to disable that?

//Edit: Oh man, I should turn off this machine now. This whole Linux-migration-get-away-from-Microsoft-operation seems to get to my head. Stupid me. Go to Settings --> Configure Konqueror --> Web Browsing
Then untick "Enable/Disable Access key activation with CTRL key"

I checked all the subcategories under "Web Browsing", but forgot to click on the category node itself. Sorry for stealing your time Ranguvar.

Take care,
Blackhole
