To clarify, it fixes Meta+Shift+2 in AZERTY keyboards, but Meta+é etc. still
does not work.

I apologize, turns out I tested this case without the patch in Bug 423305, and
turns out that patch also fixes this issue.

Still, there might be a (decently common) keyboard layout out there that is not
covered, so it still might be worth fixing overall

It is indeed related related to Bug 423305. I also tried replicating the issue,
and it persists even after the patch.

This all revolves around KKeyServer::isShiftAsModifierAllowed
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwindowsystem/-/blob/master/src/kkeyserver.cpp#L96

It only "filters" for some hardcoded keys (including numbers), but I think only
takes into account QWERTY/US layout(s). Fixing this through the same mechanism
will require that number keys be added, but that might introduce bugs for other
keyboard layouts.

The only solutions I can think of are:
* removing the hardcoded keys and dynamically checking for Shift-able
shortcut depending on the keyboard layout. This will might break if the user
has many keyboard shortcuts
* Making it so that Qt does not "translate" Shift-able keys (e.g. Shift+1
should be returned as "1" with Qt::ShiftModifier instead of "!" with
Qt::ShiftModifier)

I am not familiar with Qt development, and I understand Qt is a hugely popular
framework widely used outside of KDE, so the latter might be hard to do.

Other workarounds would be to check for scancodes (QKeyEvent::nativeScanCode),
but it might be too messy (multiple keyboard layouts, it might return 0, it
does not work on macOS).

Hello,

Any news regarding this bug? It's also preventing Latte Dock shortcuts for
launching apps quickly using the Meta key.

Interesting, thanks for the investigation. I'm not sure how to proceed here.
I wasn't very happy with assigning 10 custom shortcuts in the first place and
apparently my feeling about that was right.
