SUMMARY
Keyboard shortcuts created from KMenuEdit for scripts in /usr/bin do not work.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Create a Script in /usr/bin, for example
$ kate /usr/bin/screenpowersave.sh
With content:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 5; xset dpms force standby
2. Open KMenu edit, create a new entry to launch the script, In General tab,
select the script in Command field: /usr/bin/screenpowersave.sh
3. In Advanced tab create a new keyboard shortcut to launch the script, and
save the changes
OBSERVED RESULT
When you press the keyboard shortcut to run the script, it is not executed
EXPECTED RESULT
Run the script
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon 20.04 (Testing)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The method I describe above had always worked for me. It stopped working about
a year ago when many bugs related to custom keyboard shortcuts had also been
reported. Run the script from the Applications Menu or run
"/usr/bin/screenpowersave.sh" from Krunner, the script is executed correctly.
Only trying to run with the configured shortcut en KMenuEdit doesn't work.
