            Bug ID: 518424
           Summary: Support Application Launcher (AL) keys
    Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
           Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
      Version First 6.24.0
       Reported In:
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

Please, add support to Application Launcher "AL" keys.

There are a few keys on a keyboard that are configured to launch specific
applications (e.g. calculator, browser, text editor, spreadsheet editor, etc.).
They are defined in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/input-event-codes.h
where you should look for comments starting with "AL ".

I bound KEY_EDITOR to one of my keyboard buttons but it didn't have any effect,
despite evtest shown its proper scan code:

Event: time xxx, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value c0185
Event: time xxx, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 422 (KEY_EDITOR), value 1

Even when I tried to manually bind it to Kate, the "input recorder" button in
the global shortcuts KCM didn't notice that any keys were pressed.
