Bug ID: 458213
Summary: Cannot launch certain applications with global
shortcut
Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
Version: 5.97.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
For many years I’ve been using Meta+letter shortcuts to launch various
applications. Among them: Meta+G = Gwenview, Meta+I = Gimp, Meta+K = Konsole
and so on.
For a longer while now, two of them stopped working (there may be more
applications affected, I just haven’t assigned them). They are kate and
Libreoffice, which were assigned to Meta+W and Meta+O, respectively. Over the
last weeks and months I repeatedly tried removing and reassigning the shortcut
both in the menu editor and in system settings’ shortcut module. I tried
removing ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and I even tested it with a brand new
user account, in order to rule out config cruft in my existing account. Nothing
helped.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Method one: Menu editor
1. Right-click launcher widget in the panel, select Edit menu items
2. Filter for Kate, select it and go to the Advanced tab and set a keyboard
shortcut
3. Save the setting (Ctrl+S)
4. Press the shortcut
Method two: system settings
1. Open system settings
2. Go to shortcuts
3. Add application (button at the bottom left)
4. Select kate
5. Add a custom shortcut on the right
6. Apply
7. Press the shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, Kate is not launched.
EXPECTED RESULT
Kate should start.
