Description Adam Porter 2014-04-24 10:43:17 UTC

When I run:

$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/khotkeys org.kde.khotkeys.reread_configuration

...it doesn't seem to do anything.  Changes to the configuration in ~/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc don't take effect.

I've also tried running:

$ qdbus org.kde.keyboard /modules/khotkeys org.kde.khotkeys.reread_configuration

...but it also doesn't seem to have any effect.

I glanced through the source code of khotkeys, libkhotkeysprivate, and kcm_khotkeys, but I don't know enough about how the components interact to find the problem.

I'm currently on KDE 4.11.6 on Ubuntu Saucy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Change some triggers in ~/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc
2.  Run "qdbusorg.kde.kded /modules/khotkeys org.kde.khotkeys.reread_configuration"
Actual Results:  
The triggers don't change.

Expected Results:  
The triggers should change.

Just tried with kded 5.13, no problem with
    qdbus org.kde.kded5 /modules/khotkeys reread_configuration

=> still a problem on your side?

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
