screenshot of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" dialog
When you drag an widget from the widget explorer to the panel, or you double click it and it adds itself, the config dialog is not accessible for most widgets (it works for eg. the analog clock, however). Even after restarting, the settings cannot be accessed. This is also true for the desktop containment. Ah, no, I was looking wrong. Are you referring to the icon widget? Can you try if it happens with any specific applet? Yesterday, prior to the last few upgrades from git-latest, it was ALL the icons. Today, after upgrades, it's only some. In my top-of-the-screen, 2nd plasma5 panel, I currently have the following icons, left to right: ICON Type & Name Shown @ Rt-Click on ICON KybdShortcuts Dialog? ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------- widget: Show Desktop Show Desktop Settings ... Y widget: Pager Pager Settings ... N app: Dolphin Icon Settings ... Y app: kCalc Icon Settings ... Y Panel spacer Set flexible size ... N app: Firefox Icon Settings ... Y app: Thunderbird Icon Settings ... Y app: Xchat Icon Settings ... Y Panel spacer Set flexible size ... N app: Eclipse Icon Settings ... Y app: Atom Icon Settings ... Y app: Kate Icon Settings ... Y widget: kNotes Notes Settings ... Y Panel spacer Set flexible size ... N widget: System Tray System Tray Settings ... N widget: Network Load Monitor Network Monitor Settings ... N widget: System Load Viewer System Load Viewer Settings ... N Panel spacer Set flexible size ... N widget: Yahoo Weather Widget Yahoo Weather Widget Settings ... N widget: Digital Clock Digital Clock Settings ... N Panel spacer Set flexible size ... N app: YaST2 Icon Settings ... Y app: Software Manager Icon Settings ... Y app: kConsole Icon Settings ... Y widget: KDE Application Menu Application Menu Settings ... N You can see the display of the KybdShortcuts dialog occurs inconsistently -- at least to my eye Thanks for this extensive list! From what I can see everything is fine. Not all applets have a dedicated settings page (such as the show desktop one), the keyboard shortcut is available for most plasmoids, so this page is always there. For the icon plasmoid at the moment it's not possible to configure the app behind it, which is a known issue.

For the icon > plasmoid at the moment it's not possible to configure the app behind it, > which is a known issue. If this is 'fine', then it's VERY different behavior that earlier versions of KDE. Under KDE4, I'm able to access/edit each of the icons' application path, etc. E.g., for exactly the same Firefox app icon added to a (still) KDE4 box, when I click on the "Icon Settings" , a rich dialog opens, allowing me to set application path/command, opening behavior, etc. See the attached image ... ALL of this functionality is lost for ALL of those icons that list "Y" in the KybdSettings dialog column of the table I listed earlier If I toggle the install on THIS system, simply downgrading to KDE4 from KDE5 (yes, THAT painful process), on restart the IconSettings behavior returns to normal. Re-upgrade, and it's re-broken, as above. I.e., Need/want to change a Panel app's launch parameters? Previous workflow: Rt-click on Icon Select "Icon Settings" Edit icon's app's launch parameters Done Current workflow: Rt-click on KDE Application Manager in selected Panel Select "Edit Applications" Navigate to target Application Edit target Application's launch parameters Close Edit Applications, update sys db Click on Panel's EDIT button to enter EDIT mode Delete previous App icon Exit Panel EDIT mode Reopen KDE Application Manager Select target Application; drag Icon to Panel Done NOT an improvement by any stretch .... the "icon" applet doesn't have any settings dialog implemented at all in plasma5 > the "icon" applet doesn't have any settings dialog implemented at all in plasma5
Then it's a regression ...
