Bug ID: 458213 Summary: Cannot launch certain applications with global shortcut Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel Version: 5.97.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Reporter: dev-...@felsenfleischer.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY For many years I’ve been using Meta+letter shortcuts to launch various applications. Among them: Meta+G = Gwenview, Meta+I = Gimp, Meta+K = Konsole and so on. For a longer while now, two of them stopped working (there may be more applications affected, I just haven’t assigned them). They are kate and Libreoffice, which were assigned to Meta+W and Meta+O, respectively. Over the last weeks and months I repeatedly tried removing and reassigning the shortcut both in the menu editor and in system settings’ shortcut module. I tried removing ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and I even tested it with a brand new user account, in order to rule out config cruft in my existing account. Nothing helped. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Method one: Menu editor 1. Right-click launcher widget in the panel, select Edit menu items 2. Filter for Kate, select it and go to the Advanced tab and set a keyboard shortcut 3. Save the setting (Ctrl+S) 4. Press the shortcut Method two: system settings 1. Open system settings 2. Go to shortcuts 3. Add application (button at the bottom left) 4. Select kate 5. Add a custom shortcut on the right 6. Apply 7. Press the shortcut OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens, Kate is not launched. EXPECTED RESULT Kate should start.
