shows garbage when a Super-key combination is chosen
confirmed here. KDE definitetly gets the modifiers wrong. Super is not the only one, Hyper won´t work properly either. I have very similar problems with a regular keyboard, using the (German) "Neo" layout. Here, Mod4 is used to access many regular keys (cursor, numbers, enter, etc.) via the letter keys (requiring less hand traveling). When I try to add shortcuts (e.g. in KMail) using Mod4 (not necessarily a "fancy" combination, but sth. like Ctrl-Enter, which would be [Ctrl]-[<|]-[V] on a qwertz keyboard), I get the helpful (at least!) but disappointing message "The key just pressed is not supported by Qt". I hope that KDE can do better, even if that means that a workaround for a rather fundamental limitation of Qt is needed… Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Created attachment 116135 [details]

I can confirm that this is still a problem. Tested with kdenlive 18.04.3 and Amarok 2.9.0-lp150.105.1.x86_64 on openSUSE Leap 15.0 with kdelibs4-4.14.38-lp150.5.34.x86_64 installed. Configure Shortcuts in kdenlive doesn't recognise my Super key at all, whereas Amarok gets very confused and treats it as a non-modifier key.
Changing status back to REPORTED as requested. Thanks for the update! |
