Description tom 2015-08-26 19:56:47 UTC

When using two or more screens, it's very helpful to be able to move windows using a keyboard shortcut. This shortcut is provided by kwin in the "Global Keyboard Shortcuts" but since upgrading to plasma 5 it doesn't work anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the shortcut in "Global Keyboard Shortcuts"
2. Press the configured key combination

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Window moves to another screen

a) Which action exactly ("window to screen #n" or "window to next/previous screen"
b) which shortcut exactly? (does it eg. include shift and a number)
c) does the "move to screen" entry in the titlebars context menu work for you?
d) does "kglobalaccel5" run ("ps ax | grep kglobalaccel5")
e) does restarting that ("pkill kglobalaccel5; sleep 1; kglobalaccel5 &") make it work™?

Comment 2 tom 2015-08-26 20:29:22 UTC

a: "window to screen #n"
b: ctrl + shift + 123
c: yes, move to screen in the titlebar works
d: kglobalaccel5 is running
e: restarting it doesn't solve the issue

That's by 99.9% chance bug #341959 - try a shortcut that does NOT include shift (eg. meta+ctrl+123) or to assign this shortcut to any global action.

Pre-emptively duping.
