*** Bug 427509 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** From this report, by sending a mixed string unicode+ascii, only the ascii pass. https://superuser.com/questions/1407480/how-to-insert-arbitrary-unicode-characters-in-kde-keyboard-shorctuts-send-keybo i have an ugly but working workaround: 1. create this shell script: sleep 1 # or 2, depends how long you tend to keep the meta keys pressed. xdotool type € 2. assign the key-combo 3. when using (pressing) the key-combo, do it briefly, so the meta keys are not interfering with the keys being sent. 4. the unicode string will arrive to the active window correctly. Here's someone else's SO question: https://superuser.com/questions/1407480/how-to-insert-arbitrary-unicode-characters-in-kde-keyboard-shorctuts-send-keybo/1595086 As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now. Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again. Thanks for your understanding, everyone. |
