You can use Shortcuts > Shortcuts > Add Command instead, it doesn't have this problem (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1) > You can use Shortcuts > Shortcuts > Add Command instead, it doesn't have > this problem Hi, thank you for such quick response. I see, "Add Command" works perfectly. I think, to avoid new user confusion, we can deprecate the entire "Custom Shortcuts" section and leave only "Shortcuts" in the future. Thank you for your work! Removing the "Custom Shortcuts" module is generally planned, but it provides some (somewhat niche) features that the other one doesn't, so it would be a somewhat controversial thing to do at the moment As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now. Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again. Thanks for your understanding, everyone. |
SUMMARY KDE Plasma's Custom Shortcut system mistakenly opens a command in a web-browser if it contains '@' character STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch System Settings 2. Go to Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts 3. Right-click on a shortcut list and click New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL 4. Go to Action tab 5. Enter any command that has "@" in it, for example "pactl set-source-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle" (without quotes) 6. Go to Trigger tab and assign a shortcut 7. Hit Apply 8. Press the shortcut you assigned OBSERVED RESULT Command gets sent into a default browser as a search query EXPECTED RESULT Command is executed via $SHELL PROPOSED SOLUTION Having Commands and URL combined into a single thing and relying on some wonky algorithm that tells apart Commands from URLs will never work right. Instead of having Commands and URLs combined into a single thing, it would be better if we separated them like this: Command Executes contents in $SHELL only. URL Executes xdg-open on the provided URL only.
