https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #21 from Kurt Kremitzki --- This issue is one of the only major usability problems I have with KDE, so I thought I might chime in. I see this issue when using virt-manager, the libvirt GUI tool, and synergy, a software keyboard & mouse

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #20 from Martin Flöser --- On Wayland there is now a protocol for shortcut inhibitions. I plan to implement this for 5.12. This would improve the situation on Wayland. For X11 I can only recommend to use the block

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #17 from Martin Gräßlin --- Option 4 is not possible. We don't have any hints about that an application/window grabbed the keyboard. Options 1-3 are all possible. For option 3 we do have a window rule which blocks

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #15 from Martin Gräßlin --- On X11 I don't see a possibility. The complete feature is built up on bypassing keyboard grabs. AFAIK we cannot get a notification if another window grabs the keyboard. On Wayland we will

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #14 from Thomas Pfeiffer --- If technically possible, modifier-only shortcuts should not bypass keyboard grabbing. I would not consider them as equal to the likes of Ctrl-Alt-Fx. Those are "one level above" the

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #11 from Martin Gräßlin --- To explain a little bit: on X11 it's possible for a window to grab the keyboard. If a window does that all key events are sent to that window and not to others. So if e.g. Virtual Box has

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #10 from atmarx --- Thanks for being understanding. My apologies for sounding like an entitled jerk. It is a fresh install of KDE Neon -- I meant upgrade in the sense that I went from 5.7.5 in Kubuntu to 5.8.2 (now .3). I

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #7 from atmarx --- I _guess_ it's possible that virtualbox, teamviewer, and remmina all somehow 'broke' at the same time, but considering the exact same versions work fine under KDE 5.7.5 (and under Unity, Xfce, etc), I'm

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #6 from Martin Gräßlin --- So these are two very different issues: * global shortcuts * meta shortct The global shortcuts can only trigger if no other window has grabbed the keyboard. If they trigger on the host, the

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #5 from atmarx --- I picked alt-tab as one example, but like I said in the original post, this appears to be true for any alt+{key} or meta+{key} combo. Yes, they're global, but previous to installing KDE Neon, even global

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #4 from atmarx --- Same thing -- if I press the meta key by itself in the keyboard captured window, it launches the app launcher on the host _and_ the remote session / vm instead of only on the remote session / vm. If I

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #3 from Martin Gräßlin --- Sorry, but you also wrote about the "meta key" and menu opening? How is that related? So far your bug report is only about Alt+Tab which are normal global shortcuts? So how does the meta key

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371877 --- Comment #2 from atmarx --- Fair enough. 1. I launched a Virtualbox VM (or other program that captures the local keyboard -- TeamViewer, Remmina, etc) 2. In the guest session, I pressed alt+tab (or any other alt+{key} or meta+{key}
