Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources If a key does generate keycodes (returned by qt using QKeyEvent::nativeScanCode() ), but it has no X11 keysym assigned (xev returns NoSymbol as keysym, the key can not be assigned as a shortcut in KDE. gnome-keybinding-properties is able to do this. It uses the keysym if it can (to have a nice name for the key in the dialog and to be able to pre-assign keys to actions), but if a key has no keysym (yet), it can use just the keycode. Of course it would be better to fix the keys in xkb, but this is not easy for the user to solve quickly.

Unlikely to be able to be implemented, because an undefined key cannot be stored in a QKeySequence which is used throughout for defining and processing keystrokes. See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69062 for an example of the changes that are needed to support any particular special key. Suggest closing as UPSTREAM.
