Description ebray187 2021-10-02 15:47:31 UTC 
SUMMARY
Shortcuts with keynum keys are not usable with "Numeric keypad always enters digits (as in macOS)" option and the numkey lock disabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable System Settings → Input Devices → Advanced → Compatibility options → Numeric keypad always enters digits (as in macOS)
2. Define a shortcut, for example: System Settings → Shortcuts → Kwin → Switch to Desktop 1: Meta+Num+1

OBSERVED RESULT
If you press Meta+Num+1 with the numlock enabled all work fine, but if you disable numlock Meta+Num+1 will not work.
When numlock is disabled xev show the correct key press events and also the correct key combinations are showed by the shortcut entries on the System Settings, but the actual shortcut action is not performed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Shortcut keyboard actions using a num keypad key should run regardless of the numlock state with the "Numeric keypad always enters digits (as in macOS)" option enabled.

Tested on git-master and I am not able to reproduce this
Set a shortcut Ctrl + 1 to switch to Virtual Desktop 1,  Ctrl + 2 for Desktop 2
Switched on Numeric keypad always enters digits (as in macOS)
Turned off NumLock
Pressed Ctrl + 1 , Ctrl + 2 using the numpad

Observed: With our without NumLock being on, the shortcuts worked
