Does this only happen in Kate? Ar in any other apps as well? how about Firefox, Dolphin, or Gedit?

Comment 2 _Gr33n_R10t_ 2024-02-28 08:21:13 UTC

It happen on every applications if I kill the process the key mapping work as expeceted.

pkill kglobalaccel5

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2024-03-01 03:50:18 UTC

In that case what's going on is that there's a global shortcut bound to Ctrl+Z that's conflicting with the in-app shortcuts. This is why killing kglobalaccel fixes the issue. I'm 99% sure we don't ship anything this way by default, which would mean it's caused by distro or user misconfiguration. Look in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and see what in there is using Ctrl+Z.

I don't have any entry for Ctrl+Z. :(

Comment 5 _Gr33n_R10t_ 2024-03-01 09:26:37 UTC

I have checked another kglobalshortcutsrc and seem that by default the Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+X is not configured in the file!

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-03-03 01:02:07 UTC

Hmm, then I'm not sure, but since killing kglobalaccel fixes it, and it's not affecting a new user account, then it's clear that there's *some* kind of local misconfiguration and not a bug here. I'd recommend posting about it in https://discuss.kde.org.
