Description Martin Rotter 2021-08-01 18:07:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
I like Tilix (terminal emulator). Tilix has a command "tilix --quake" to launch it as drop-down terminal. Unfortunately, nothing happens when I configure my KDE to use the command.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE: See pictures here - https://imgur.com/a/lc4dnci

OBSERVED RESULT: Nothing happens.


EXPECTED RESULT: "tilix --quake" command is launched.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-08-02 18:05:35 UTC 
Can reproduce. It seems like command-line flags get removed. Interestingly enough, any paths you pass in are not removed. So when I set a global shortcut to launch:

dolphin --select /home/nate/Desktop/Contribute.png

What actually happens is that Dolphin is launched like so:

dolphin /home/nate/Desktop/Contribute.png
Comment 2 Martin Rotter 2021-08-03 06:28:49 UTC 
Anyway, there is no easy way of hooking arbitrary command to a keyboard shortcut?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-08-04 15:20:50 UTC 
The older KHotkeys system will let you do it. Being unable to do it using the newer kglobalaccel system is just a bug.

Git commit 625b53f516d27eb61eaad00175dd7108bf82572f by Nate Graham, on behalf of Nicolas Fella.
Committed on 16/08/2022 at 00:12.
Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.

Don't pass Exec arguments to kstart when launching via desktop entry name

If we have a desktop file org.kde.foo.desktop with "Exec=foo bar bla"

we are currently calling "kstart5 --application org.kde.foo bar bla"

However we need to call "kstart5 --application org.kde.foo" without any args

kstart5/ApplicationLauncherJob will read the Exec line again and pick up the args
FIXED-IN: 5.98
