Description Miguel Rozsas 2025-10-25 14:38:40 UTC

I supppose it is a kwin related problem, please reassign if it is not.
I suppose it is a KDE 6 problem, because before KDE 6 I hadn't that problem.

Yakuaki activation keyboard shortcut (F12) does not work except the active window (the one that has focus) is a KDE window (Dolphin, KDE configuration window, konsole, even the desktop background, etc).

If the current window is Google Chrome or Firefox or any other non-kde window, the shortcut F12 does not activate yakuake terminal.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open firefox , make it the active window
2. press F12 to activate yakuake terminal, nothing happens
3. open Dolphin, make it  the active window
4. press F12 and the yakuake terminal just popup, as expected.

OBSERVED RESULT
On step 2, nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
I expected to see the yakuake terminal pop-up regardless which window is the active one, not just K* windows.

Do you have "focus stealing prevention" set to "Medium" or higher? If so, this is Bug 509990.

Yes, it was "Medium".
Changing to "Low" fix the problem.
