Bug ID: 365812
Summary: global "lock screen" shortcut unaware of user's
keyboard layout
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.7.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: l.lu...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@patrick-hanft.de
I'm a user of the alternative keyboard layout "Neo 2" which is an alternative
keyboard layout optimized for German language. Usually this is very vell
supported althrough the plasma desktop.
Beginning with my upgrade to plasma 5 coming from KDE 4.x, the global "lock
screen shortcut" stopped working for me. While all other shortcuts worked quite
normally, both, the default [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[L] as well as any other configured
variant ([Win]+[L] and others) did not work as expected.
By pure accident I recently I realized, that this shortcut probably does not
respect my user keyboard layout, as I suddenly locked my screen by hitting
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[T] instead.
To help visualize this issue, please find Neo 2 keyboard layout here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#/media/File:Neo_2.0-Tastaturbelegung_Ebene1.svg
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure de-neo2 as user's keyboard layout
2. press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[L] in neo2 layout (which maps to physical
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[E] in qwerty/qwertz layout)
Actual Results:
nothing happens
Expected Results:
screen should bo locked
3. instead when you press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[T] in neo2 layout – which maps to
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[L] in usual Qwerty/Qwertz layout – result: screen locks.
