Bug 421166

SUMMARY

In the KDE System Settings, KRunner hotkey shortcuts are duplicated in two categories: "KRunner" and "Run Command". The available actions and default key bindings are the same. However, the key bindings in the "Run Command" category do not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Go to KDE System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Global Shortcuts.
2. In the Components column, see the two categories: "KRunner" and "Run Command".
3. Make sure a hotkey for a given action is bound in the "Run Command" category. For example, make "Run Command" -> "Run Command" is bound to Alt+F2.
4. Press Alt+F2.
5. Change Alt+F2 to be used in "KRunner" -> "KRunner" action (this will unbind it from "Run Command" -> "Run Command").
6. Press Alt+F2 again.

OBSERVED RESULT

The available actions and default hotkeys in "KRunner" and "Run Command" are the same.
At step 4, pressing Alt+F2 doesn't do anything.
At step 6, pressing Alt+F2 does invoke KRunner, as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT

I don't see the reason for this duplication, especially when one of the shortcut categories doesn't work. There should be one place to configure KRunner shortcuts, and the shortcuts configured there should work.
