Bug ID: 418753
Summary: Meta + shortcut key combinations not working
consistently
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.1
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: t...@timfolger.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Shortcut key combinations using the meta key no longer work consistently. In
system settings > shortcuts > global shortcuts I have assigned the meta + F
keys to launch Firefox; I've set meta + G to launch Google Chrome. But those
shortcuts no longer work. When I press them nothing happens. Oddly, meta + E,
the default shortcut for launching Dolphin, works as expected.
I'm running KDE plasma 5.18.2, kernel 5.5.7-1, KDE Frameworks 5.67.0, and Qt
version 5.14.1 on an up-to-date opensuse tumbleweed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to system settings > shortcuts > global shortcuts and choose Firefox from
the application launcher. Assign Meta+F as global shortcut to launch Firefox
2. Select apply
3. Press meta + F keys
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
Firefox should launch
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.18.2
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same problem happens when trying to assign Meta+G as a shortcut to launch
google chrome. I've also tried assigning the shortcut by right clicking on the
application launcher icon and choosing 'Edit applications" but that doesn't
work either.
As I mentioned above, the default shortcut to launch Dolphein (Meta+E) works as
expected.
