Bug ID: 448260
Summary: Emoji Selector impossible to turn off, recreates its
own key shortcuts
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.23.5
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
I use Emojis in my daily work (social media marketing). I was not very fond of
the KDE Emoji Selector but I still wanted to use the "Meta + ." key shortcut to
select an emoji. So I wanted to turn the shortcut for KDE Emoji Selector off.
Then, I could proceed to set up another app for that very purpose.
I went to the System Settings menu to turn the key shortcut for Emoji Selector
off. I disabled both the default key shortcut for Emoji Selector and removed
the entire Emoji Selector section. It worked okay - until next login.
After login, I found that the default key shortcut, both Emoji Selector section
and its default values have been restored - which made it impossible for me to
use another app with the same key shortcut, "Meta + ."
I use Polish translation of KDE so sorry if I got the names of some apps or
menu sections wrong.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to "System Settings" menu, "Shortcuts" section.
2. Under "Applications" choose "Emoji Selector"
3. Delete the entire section for "Emoji Selector"
4. Confirm that pressing the previously setup key combination DOES NOT invoke
Emoji Selector window
5. Log out then log in again
6. Go to the same view and see the "Emoji Selector" section was restored
OBSERVED RESULT
"Emoji Selector" key shortcut setting is being always recreated upon session
login.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Emoji Selector" key shortcut setting should remain deleted.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Sid (unstable), Linux 5.15.0-2-amd64
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A workaround is available: it is possible to change the "Emoji Selector" key
shortcut to some unused key combination to avoid conflict.
I also tried to manually remove "Emoji Selector" section from
~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc but it still got restored upon new login. The name
of the section in the file: "[org.kde.plasma.emojier.desktop]"
