main keyboard strokes

Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

CC: fanzhuyi...@gmail.com

OBSERVED RESULT
Using either the number pad - key or the main keyboard - key triggers the
shortcut

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.0-37-amd64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
>From xev the keys are different:
keycode 20 (keysym 0x2d, minus)
vs:
keycode 82 (keysym 0xffad, KP_Subtract)
…but if I edit kglobalshortcutsrc and change “-” to KP_Subtract, it doesn’t
work. Ideally we could specify keycode, keysym, or use the KP_Subtract style
names in kglobalshortcutsrc.
It's understandable to treat the "-" key on the number pad as semantically
identical to the regular "-", but the number pad presents a big opportunity to
assign shortcuts, and it is lost due to this.
