Bug ID: 423887
Summary: New Global Shortcuts KCM misrecords inputs with Shift
and numbers
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.19.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keys
Assignee: k...@michael-jansen.biz
Reporter: japareag...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Shortcuts that use Shift and numbers (for example, Meta+!/Meta+Shift+1) are
misrecorded by Global Shortcuts, causing them to not work.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Click on Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts
3. Select any application or service (for example, KWin)
4. Assign a custom shortcut that uses both Shift and a number to any action
(for example, assign Meta+!/Meta+Shift+1 to the "Maximize Window" action)
5. Click Apply
2. Press Meta+!/Meta+Shift+1 on the keyboard to perform the action
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The action should be performed
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The new Global Shortcuts KCM is recording inputs such as "Meta+Shift+1" as
"Meta+Shift+!", which causes them not to be activated by KGlobalAccel, which is
expecting inputs such as "Meta+!".
I have verified this by manually editing the ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc file
and removing the Shift modifier from the shortcuts created on the Global
Shortcuts KCM. After restarting the session, the shortcuts worked.
I also downloaded Kubuntu 18.04.4 to see if this issue was present in the old
Global Shortcuts KCM. This version of the KCM recorded the "Meta+Shift+1" input
as "Meta+!", and activating this shortcut performed the action without
problems.
