As announced in
https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has
reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature
requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel
system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering
conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new
system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for
them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile,
the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may
be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.

I doubt it's going to be fixed since it's an upstream limitation. It'd need to
be fixed upstream, and for that it'd have to be recognized as a problem
upstream.

As a workaround, xdotool can be used with a command shortcut to type most of
those characters, i.e. 

`xdotool key --clearmodifiers bracketleft` 

to type [

Here's the list of keynames:

I've just stumbled over the same problem in kde plasma 5.24. Any chance that
will ever get fixed?

I've looked at it and I think that main issue is that AltGr is not handled as a
modifier in QT: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#Modifier-enum

It probably could be overpassed, but will need more knowledge and work :-(

I can confirm this bug, too -- Plasma 5.12.6, Kubuntu 18.04.1
setting my usual window management hot keys is not possible due to this bug,
unfortunately

I can confirm this using Plasma 5.11.5 with Kubuntu 17.10.
Is this bug really almost 6 years old now?!
