Thank you for your bug report! Is this on X11 or wayland? The plasma-kglobalaccel service only runs standalone on X11, on wayland this is run inside kwin.

This is on Wayland; if there's any tests or anything that you need, just let me know! Could you attach the content of the file `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc`? If possible, would you be able to check if the error is reproducible on x11? Thanks!

Here's the contents of the file... I'll test on X11 probably tomorrow, I've got to run for the moment.

[services][org.kde.spectacle.desktop] _launch=none The contents of your `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` look correct -- the shortcuts for volume control are correctly set. In krunner, if you search for "kwin debug console" and launch it, and go to the input events tab, and press the media keys (volume up, volume down), what do you see in the Qt::Key code field? Are the key presses correctly resolved to Key_VolumeUp and Key_VolumeDown?

Oh, as a follow up, I should mention that at one point the media keys did work on Wayland on a previous installation on this machine (My previous installation was long in the tooth); This is an issue on a fresh install, so it may be something with a new version of Plasma, Qt, or something with an older bundled configuration. What is the output of `xmodmap -pke | grep -i volume`? If nothing is outputted you need to add your media keys to the keymap. (In reply to fanzhuyifan from comment #8) > What is the output of `xmodmap -pke | grep -i volume`? If nothing is > outputted you need to add your media keys to the keymap. I get... xmodmap -pke | grep -i volume keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume NoSymbol XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume NoSymbol XF86AudioRaiseVolume (Thanks again, btw) Let me reassign to kwin since you are reporting that kwin debug console doesn't even see those events on wayland, even though libinput reports those events, and the keymap contains the relevant entries. The issue seems to be caused by by 3rd-party software. My Keyboard/Mouse are Logitech devices, and use Solaar to enable/configure. It seems Solaar doesn't properly register[?] the devices when connected, breaking functionality. It also explains why Input Remapper worked - it "finished" the registration on some level. |
