Description poperigby 2022-08-15 20:01:23 UTC

SUMMARY
I'm not sure if it was after an update, but my Meta+Return shortcut for launching WezTerm (https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/) no longer works. I also tried binding different shortcuts to it, but none work. Open WezTerm via KRunner does work though.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Settings -> Shortcuts -> Add application -> WezTerm, and bind a key combination to it.
2. Try pressing that key combination.

OBSERVED RESULT
WezTerm doesn't launch.

EXPECTED RESULT
WezTerm launches.

Can you attach your ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc file?

Ok, so KGlobalAccel has registered the shortcut. A few more questions:
1. Does this shortcut work if you set it as the launch shortcut for any other app?
2. How was WezTerm installed? Distro packaging? Flatpak? Snap? Appimage?
3. Does WezTerm launch if you set any other shortcut for it?

Oh one final question: can you paste the output of `appstreamcli search wezterm` on your machine?

Yes. I tried setting Meta+Return to open Konsole and that worked.

> How was WezTerm installed? Distro packaging? Flatpak? Snap? Appimage?

I installed it from the Arch Linux repository.

> Does WezTerm launch if you set any other shortcut for it?

No. I've tried Meta+T, Ctrl+Alt+T, Ctrl+Shift+T, etc.

Great, thanks. Does /usr/share/applications/org.wezfurlong.wezterm.desktop exist?
