Description Helge Hielscher 2005-01-18 21:57:08 UTC

Version:           2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

steps to reproduce:
1. enable kxkb and add a new keyboard layout (I used Russian)
2. in khotkeys add a new Keyboard Shortcut -> Keyboard Input Simple
3. enter "т:е:с:т:t:e:s:t:" in Keyboard Input Field
4. press the assigned shortcut
result:
only the latin "test" is entered regardless of the kxkb layout selected
expected result:
other layouts are supported and I can have an action that enters cyrillic text

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
