Bug ID: 429258
Summary: shift+numpad shortcuts conflict with 'Up', 'Down',
etc. actions
Product: khotkeys
Version: 5.20.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Some KDE applications such as KSudoku allow the use of the shift modifier key
with numbers. This works fine when using the numbers at the top of the
keyboard, but if you use shift with the number pad instead, the numbers 8 (up),
2 (down), 6 (right), and 4 (left) all cause the following error to be shown:
"Ambiguous shortcut detected: The key sequence 'Up' is ambiguous. Use
'Configure Shortcuts' from the 'Settings' menu to solve the ambiguity. No
action will be triggered."
The word "Up" will change depending on which number pad key was pressed.
Unfortunately, there aren't any configurable entries for "Up", "Down", "Left",
"Right" in either the application's "Configure Shortcuts" window or in System
Settings -> Workspace -> Shortcuts. As far as I can tell, there is no way to
actually resolve this conflict.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KSudoku and generate a "Sudoku Standard (9x9)" puzzle.
2. Hover the mouse over one of the empty squares and type Shift 8 using the
number pad for the number 8.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will get the error mentioned above and no way to resolve the keyboard
shortcut.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should function identically to using the number 8 key at the top of the
keyboard or at least have a configuration option in System Settings.
