Screenshot of keyboard shortcuts
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have used the shortcut pattern to switch to a virtual workspace of:
Ctrl+Alt+Num+1, Ctrl+Alt+Num+2, etc to respectively switch to virtual
workspace: 1, 2, etc for many years.
2. After upgrading to Kubuntu 23.04 I logged on using a Wayland session
3. My workspace change shortcut didn't work for workspace #1 (and other
shortcuts). This is/was working under X-11 loging session on this
installation.
4. I checked the KWin shortcuts and they are are set correctly. See screenshot
for 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+3' example circled. This is how it works with Plasma X-11.
5. I then went to redefine the 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+1' (workspace 1) keystroke BUT
they shortcut interface did NOT recognise 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+1' key pattern and
instead recorded: 'Ctrl+Alt+1'. That is incorrect.
6. I checked this shortcut combination and 'Ctrl+Alt+1' matches BOTH the QWETY
keyboard-1-key scan-code and the numpad-1-key scan-code. Unlike the X-11
session the Wayland session does not distinguish the numpad as a different set
of keys (scan-codes). Sometimes the numpad is a completely different piece of
hardware, so this is not what is desired.
OBSERVED RESULT
* The required: 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+1' does not register, and cannot be defined.
* The existing (example) 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+3' is defined from the Kubuntu Plasma
X-11 login on this PC
* None of the currently defined workspace shortcuts work.
* Instead the shortcut: 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+1' was recorded and uses the number keys
on the QWERTY keyboard or the numpad 1-key -- Which is NOT desired. The
keyboard 1-key is used for other things.
EXPECTED RESULT
* 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+1', 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+2' , 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+3' , ... 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+9'
and 'Ctrl+Alt+Num+0', should be defined as distinct scancodes and work as
defined with the existing X-11 settings.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 23.04
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 (I think; The KDE ABOUT box does not display the
Plasma release number)
KDE Frameworks Version: No idea, where can I find that?
Qt Version: v5 I believe
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* I have saved the shortcut definitions using they 'Export Scheme' button, alas
the bug report only seems to permit a single attachmet. I will try to add
someting later after filing this bug.
* It seems by the list of 'possibly related' issues that came-up when I opened
this bug that there are several cases where the numpad is being ignored or
collapsed onto keyboard keys.
* The thing with keystrokes, is that they match scan-codes, not characters.
Often there are custome keypads or alternative controls 'wired' to the system
that are do not at all match a keyboard -- Uses include custom terminals,
machine control, virtual controls.
