Bug ID: 428007 Summary: keyboard shortcuts crashed in opensuse tumbleweed Product: systemsettings Version: 5.20.0 Platform: openSUSE RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: kcm_khotkeys Assignee: k...@michael-jansen.biz Reporter: s...@gmx.eu CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- 2020-10-19 Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201014 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.14-1-default Graphics Processor: llvmpipe Running: virtualbox-guest-x11 - VirtualBox X11 drivers for mouse and video 6.1.14-2.1 virtualbox-guest-tools - VirtualBox guest tools 6.1.14-2.1 virtualbox-guest-source - Source files for virtualbox guest kernel modules 6.1.14-2.1 Fault Summary: The system settings keyboard shortcuts crashed. No reaction in the Kde gui when typing keyboard shortcuts. Eg. KWin: "Switch to Next Desktop", "Switch to Previous Desktop"; Eg. Plasma: "Switch to Next Activity", "Switch to Previous Activity"; The fault is caused by configuring in system settings a keyboard shortcut for an additional keyboard layout. Error Symptoms: Configure keyboard shortcuts in system settings. Like: System Settings > Workspace > Shortcuts: System Services > KWin > Walk Through Windows: Default shortcut: Alt+Tab Additional fault: System Services > KWin > Walk Through Windows (Reverse): Default shortcut: Alt+Shift+Backtab The above setting should display "Alt-Shift-Tab", not Alt+Shift+Backtab. System Services > KWin > Walk Through Windows (Reverse): Custom shortcut: Alt+Shift+Tab System Services > KWin > Switch to Next Desktop > Custom shortcut: Ctrl+Tab System Services > KWin > Switch to Previous Desktop > Custom shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Tab Additional sporadic fault: System Services > Plasma > Walk through activities > Custom: Meta+Tab The above setting is displayed as "Meta+Tab, Tab, Tab" Additional sporadic fault: System Services > Plasma > Walk through activities > Custom: Meta+Shift+Tab The above setting is displayed as "Meta+Shift+Tab, Backtab, Backtab" System Services > Plasma > Walk through activities > Default shortcut: Meta+Tab System Services > Plasma > Walk through activities (Reverse) > Default shortcut: Meta+Shift+Tab Additional fault: Keyboard > Shortcuts for Switching Layout > Alternative shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+K Only this shortcut is displayed via the Kde plasma on-screen feedback (in the middle of the screen). Eg. Configure keyboard options > Switching to another layout > "Left Alt+Left Shift". The typed key-combination appears to be sent directly to the active kde foreground window, instead of being acted upon by the kde system settings for keyboard shortcuts. Fault Reproduction: Configure in System Settings an additional keyboard layout and assign a keyboard shortcut. Like: System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices: Keyboard > Hardware > Keyboard model: Apple | Apple Aluminium (ANSI) Keyboard > Layouts > Add: Layout: German, Default, Label de Keyboard > Shortcuts for Switching Layout > Main shortcuts: "Left Alt+Left Shift" Type a configured key combination, eg. for "Switch to Next Activity". Fault Mitigation: Reset to Defaults in "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced > Configure keyboard options > Switching to another layout > (Left Alt+Left Shift)". Magically, all Kde keyboard shortcuts appear to function correctly; until the next reboot. After reboot, if the fault is present again, configure the shortcut for switching between layouts again for "Left Alt+Left Shift". Like: Right-click on the Kde Panel Task Manager keyboard layout indicator (us) > Keyboard System Settings Module > Layouts > Shortcuts for Switching Layout: Main shortcuts: (Left Alt+Left Shift); ok; It appears to work better and better with several reboots. Fault Resolution: Fix the sources for "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts: Shortcuts for Switching Layout"; aka "Kde > System Settings > Hardware > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced > Configure keyboard options > Switching to another layout > (Left Alt+Left Shift)". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
