SUMMARY

I have set up a keyboard shortcut to toggle “Do not disturb” mode in notifications. When I set any combination of keys, apparently works. But, after close the settings window, the shortcut stop to work.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Notifications settings page in System Settings.
2. Set up a shortcut for toggle “Do not disturb” mode (Ctrl+Shift+F4, by example).
3. Try the new shortcut combination.The toggle works.
4. Close System Settings window.
5. Try again new shortcut combination. The toggle does not work.

OBSERVED RESULT
After close System Settings window, the shortcut does not work. 

EXPECTED RESULT
Shortcut would be work in any situation when is invoked.

Wow, can confirm. We're probably registering it as a local shortcut rather than a global shortcut.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-05-04 00:25:30 UTC

HMm, it actually stops working the moment you leave the page, and doesn't start working again if you return. But the KCM still lists the shortcut.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-05-04 00:26:15 UTC

The shortcut is written into the config file properly though, and restarting kglobalaccel5 makes it start working.

So maybe we're somehow  not telling kglobalaccel about the new shortcut we've added?

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-05-04 00:36:24 UTC

Seems like closing the KCM wipes out the shortcut change until kglobalaccel is restarted, basically.
