Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Created attachment 141904

Trigger pane, action pane and result of typing a custom shortcut
SUMMARY
Shortcuts with Alt-<letter> as the trigger fail to output the first instance of
<letter> when <letter> is part of the action.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts
2. Create a shortcut triggered by Alt-<letter> and include multiple copies of
<letter> in the Action.
3. Click the Apply button.
4. Go to a program that accepts keyboard input, such as vim, and type
Alt-<letter>.
OBSERVED RESULT
The keys in the shortcut's action are displayed EXCEPT for the first instance
of <letter>.
EXPECTED RESULT
All the keys in the shortcut's action are displayed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux: Fedora 34
Linux/KDE Plasma: System Settings 5.22.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 (source: plasma-workspace-5.22.5-2.fc34.src.rpm)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The workaround is to add an extra <letter> as needed to the action keys. For
example, I have an Alt-y shortcut for my e-mail address for which the action
WAS 'd:a:v:i:d:l:e:v:n:e:r:Shift+2:y:a:h:o:o:.:c:o:m'. When I typed Alt-y,
'[email protected]' was output. I changed the action to
'd:a:v:i:d:l:e:v:n:e:r:Shift+2:y:y:a:h:o:o:.:c:o:m' and now when I type Alt-y,
I get '[email protected]'.
