I have a german keyboard layout. For "switch this window to workspace 1" I set the Shortcut Meta+Shift+1 which results in Meta+!. For Switching view to workspace 1, I have set Meta+1. If I press Meta+Shift+1 while a window is focussed on workspace 2, it will just switch my view to workspace 1, while the before focussed window is still on workspace 2. At first I thought, it just ignores my shift key, so I tried some other shortcuts. Meta+Shift+J works without any doubts. Meta+ö without shift key does not work. This is regardless of the KDE component, i set the shortcuts for. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a random global shortcut in systemsettings to Meta+Shift+1 (don't know if it happens with other keyboard layouts, too. Only got german for testing.) 2. Apply the settings 3. Try out your keyboard shortcut. Actual Results: Ignores Shift key and just runs the action, set up for Meta+1 Expected Results: Running the action set up for Meta+Shift+1 Plasma 5.2
I think I'm seeing the same problem... I tried setting yakuake to open when pressing ctrl+~ - i.e. ctrl+shift+(the key left of "1" and obove "tab") - using the standard US keyboard layout in a scratch account (I'm usually using German layout). SystemSettings correctly recognizes the keyboard combo, otherwise it wouldn't show it as "Ctrl+~" I guess but yakuake does not open... Problem is the same using German layout. Furthermore: when konsole is focused and I press meta+d the text "sd" is inserted. I don't recall seeing this behaviour from 4.x so this might be a clue as to why the shortcuts are not recognized?
I have same problem, with meta + shift + number. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341959 Archlinux 5.2.1
