Description Steven Eastland 2023-12-08 22:51:02 UTC
SUMMARY
The calculator/Launch(1) button on my keyboard (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000) does not respond/is not detected in a Plasma 6 Wayland session. It works as expected in the X11 session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the Wayland session
2. Try to assign the calculator/Launch(1) button to a shortcut.

OBSERVED RESULT
The calculator button is not detected in a Wayland session.

EXPECTED RESULT
The calculator button should be detected, and execute the assigned shortcut, in my case launching KCalc.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1

I have an HP Omen 16-n0000 laptop, which also has a calculator button on the keyboard, and it too no longer works in Plasma 6 (from kdesrc-build, so git master).
