Confirmed. *** Bug 493218 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Can reproduce this on X11 and Wayland. Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.9-arch1-2 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Confirmed on up-to-date KDE neon on X11 (Plasma 6.1.5, Frameworks 6.5) as well. I think the reason the panel shortcuts don’t work is that we can’t shift focus to the panel itself. For example, when I click on the desktop, I can use "Alt+D, E" to enter edit mode or "Alt+D, Alt+S" to enter desktop settings because the focus moves from the active window to the desktop upon the click. However, this doesn’t happen with panels; clicking on a panel doesn’t shift the focus away from the active window, which is why the panel shortcuts don’t work.

Committed on 28/01/2025 at 18:59. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Remove chord keyboard shortcuts Don't set chord keyboard shortcuts on widgets and containments. For widgets, it won't work anyway since the shortcuts will conflict when widgets inhabit the same parent container (which is almost always). For containments, users can't figure out what these shortcuts are and how they work, so they're largely useless visual noise anyway.

Committed on 30/01/2025 at 16:16. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. desktop: Replace chord keyboard shortcut with something comprehensible The desktop currently has a local-scoped shortcut to open the config window. This is odd, but because the desktop isn't global (there can be multiple desktops), in principle is can make sense for keyboard accessibility. Unfortunately it uses a chord shortcut, which users don't understand. Replace it with a normal-style shortcut. Part of https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/issues/148.
