Description Gallardo994 2015-05-17 18:40:33 UTC
I'm trying to bind meta+< as my keyboard shortcut to show all windows ("overview mode"), but it doesn't react to the pressed keys at all. Other shortcuts like ctrl+` work properly and without any issues.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bind meta+< as "show all windows" action in kwin section
2. Try to press it - see no result
3. Bind to anything else and it works

Actual Results:  
It didn't react to the key presses

Expected Results:  
It shoud have opened the "all windows" board

I can confirm this.

I used to pull down yakuake with Ctrl+§(key left on '1') in KDE4, but that doesn't work in plasma5.

comment #1 is bug #341959

@Gallardo
What keyboard layout is this? qwerty?
If not, does "pkill kglobalaccel5; sleep kglobalaccel5; kglobalaccel5 &" work around the problem?
Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2015-10-18 12:47:55 UTC
@Gallardo, w/o knowing the keyboard layout (where is the "<" key) it's hard to say what the problem may be. It may be fixed by bug #341959 or something entirely different.

Since "<" "SHIFT+," on QWERTY, I assume a dupe. Otherwise please re-open.
