Comment 1 John Kizer 2024-11-24 06:41:02 UTC
I can reproduce this on Fedora Linux 41, kernel 6.11.8, same Plasma/Frameworks/Qt.

When clicking away from the KCM after trying to use an accelerator, the changes are silently discarded.

Using Tab and Space to navigate to a checkbox and then check it does successfully trigger the Apply/Reset buttons and the "you've changed something" behavior, so it's specific to using accelerators, not all keyboard-related activity.
