Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-07-20 17:33:34 UTC

I have KTP Presence Applet assigned the shortcut Meta+J in its Plasma settings. When I press the keystroke, nothing happens. It used to open the contactlist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click the Presence Applet and choose Configure This Presence Applet
2. Go to shortcut section
3. Choose a shortcut of your liking and apply
4. Press that shortcut
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
KTP Contact List opens

Developer POV: The plasmoid "shortcut" is added by plasma to all applets, and all it does is activate the plasmoid. It's not meant to do anything else.

Designer POV: However, given this menu exists it makes perfect intuitive sense that it should be open the contact list, doing nothing is just stupid.

I'm not sure if plasma has a call for "this was just activated with a keyboard shortcut". I'm confirming this bug, but this is not easy by any means and may involve working with the plasma team.

Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-07-20 18:53:46 UTC

But clicking the plasmoid (activating it?) opens the contact list, so why shouldn’t the shortcut do the same? It used to work exactly this way until a few weeks ago.

Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2012-07-20 21:17:57 UTC

Truth is that the plasmoid was slightly rewritten from "PopupApplet" to "Applet" (as we have no popup) and the activation function was changed from "activated" to "click", so that's why it stopped working. 

I also think it'd be nice to have this and I think we can simply add the activated() connection back again (it was proven that clicking does not initiate the "activated()" signal), I'm just not sure it's the "proper" solution.
