Bug ID: 388574
Summary: Application Launcher keyboard shortcuts can launch
only certain applications.
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.11.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keys
Assignee: k...@michael-jansen.biz
Reporter: adamantga...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
In the "Global Shortcuts" section of the "Shortcuts" settings page there's an
option to assign a shortcuts for certain actions with any application from
system menu. However, it does seem to work only with apps that have at least
one Desktop Action, for example Konsole or Chromium.
I had created a 'test.desktop' file and assigned a shortcut to it. Shortcut
wasn't even considered a shortcut - if I pressed Meta+X (I assigned it) I was
getting "x" characters in a text fields. So then I added a simple Desktop
Action to 'test.desktop' file. To my surprise it actually worked and i was able
to launch that .desktop file (Note: I had to delete it and add again so the
Action was added too). And I mean exactly launch, not use Desktop Action, but
use "Launch" action that is present on everything you add.
This is very strange bug, and though it's not being major, because you still
can use custom shortcuts, I hope it to get fixed soon.
