Use of Qt Keyboard shortcuts has been broken in Qt for years.
There are lots of bugs about it in Qt and KDE projects.
This one looks close to what I'm seeing,
Can't assign keyboard shortcut with Meta modifiers
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9846
This one got mentioned in a few KDE bugs
Qt LineEdit incorrectly truncates "Password" dialog elements when
entered with a KDE Custom Shortcut ...
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-24304
There are lots of others.
Anyway, the point is -- shortcuts don't work.
I have a reproducible test case. It's 100% reproducible on 4 machines. Here
anyway.
The Qt shortcuts fail only when used in Qt-based applications.
They work fine in NON-Qt apps (GTK, JAVE, etc).
I can't create a Qt account, can't add to any bug (not that I'm clear on which
one). Posting the testcase here.
I'm cc'ing to a couple of developer's named I saw in those bugs. Maybe
somebody will stick this in the right place.
