--- Comment #7 from Johannes <lemondej...@gmail.com> ---
I have done some more research.
Ctrl+@, Ctrl+{, Ctrl+|, Ctrl+backslash, Ctrl+[, Ctrl+$, Ctrl+£, Ctrl+é,
Ctrl+Shift+É, Alt+é, Alt+Shift+É all DON'T WORK when set from systemsettings.
Tested both on my Swiss layout and a standard US layout.
On the contrary, Ctrl+*, Ctrl+", Ctrl+Shift+% do work.
An interesting point is that Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] are attributed by default (it
switches tabs). And in the default usage, they do work. But as soon as you try
to re-attribute them in systemsettings, they don't work any more.
The latter may be an interesting finding because it means that all these
shortcuts **can** actually work, but perhaps the way they are registered when
the user sets them is broken. All those shortcuts also work when you set them
within an app; for instance, Ctrl+é works in Dolphin. I tested all these on
GNOME, both on X11 and Wayland, and there they work.
Therefore, I believe that KDE only currently allows to set alphanumerical keys
+ a few others. It does not even have something to do with ASCII versus
extended ASCII or UTF-8. Just possibly a bug in systemsettings.
This bug's title is thus not to the point. We should rename it to "Cannot
assign global shortcuts using most keys besides A-Za-z0-9 and few others".
Note that setting global keyboard shortcuts is typically what I do in the first
15 minutes after installing a distro, and my keyboard layout being not
american, it has plenty of accented keys; this should thus be a priority in the
sense of the "15-Minute Bug Initiative".
