Plasma settings touchpad dialog

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open settings manager
2. go to touchpad
3. use Alt+C to trigger the Tap-to-click checkbox

OBSERVED RESULT

Pressing Alt+C triggers the Cancel button, not the Tap-to-click checkbox, closing the Touchpad dialog. By default tap-to-click is disabled on Plasma desktop, so users without a physical mouse cannot enable touchpad tapping via keyboard.

EXPECTED RESULT

Pressing Alt+C should have triggered the Tap-to-click checkbox

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I never had this problem with Kubuntu 17.10/18.04 (I forgot what version of Plasma that was); Alt+C was only assigned to Tap-to-click and not the Cancel button.

Needs the accelerator set to some other letter I guess.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-08-05 13:47:57 UTC
Nowadays the KCM always opens in System Settings rather than KCMShell, and in System Settings, the Cancel button isn't shown. This means the bug has effectively been fixed for everyone except people who manually run `kcmshell{5,6} kcm_touchpad`. Fixing it there is not worth the effort given how niche of a use case this is; marking as (effectively) fixed.
