Are you running your system on a laptop or desktop PC? I've seen a couple of laptops with "non-common" layouts or in need for specials configurations/drivers where the defaults are weird to say the least. Normal desktop PC with a Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 and a german keyboard layout. Can you run xev and press the key and see what key code it spits out?

The shortcut Qt::Key_ScreenSaver we set translates to XF86XK_ScreenSaver which this clearly isn't. Could be an X server or driver bug but not something we can fix on our side. As I said in the beginning I am using wayland. Not sure where X does play a role here. |
Created attachment 111319 [details] key assignment for ksmserver I dont have a key named screen saver on my keyboard. This locked the session when i pressed the ^ key above the TAB key. This must be a recent change i cant remember this with older plasma versions. I use plasma wayland in case this makes a difference.
