I wanted to setup a global shortcut to toggle touchpad. It was set and is working inside the settings app, but does not work outside that scope Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to System Settings -> Input Devices -> Touchpad -> Enable/DIsable Touchpad and click on Configure for Keyboard shortcuts 2. Set keyboard shortcut for toggle Touchpad as Meta+Alt+T 3. Close settings and go to any other application and press Meta+Alt+T Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Meta+Alt+T keyboard combo should toggle touchpad
Additional info: Shortcut works if Touchpad Settings window is open.
For me touchpad toggle, enable, disable keybindings are wrongly set to custom keybindings, even if none are available. This occurs after every reboot. Having me to set them to the default values again. These problems might me connected.
I can confirm that there are problems with configuring that shortcut. But it might be fault of kcm_touchpad as until you change something in this shortcut kcm_touchpad is not visible in dropdown list and all touchpad related shortcuts (and not only) are visible in "KDE Daemon" entry. Also it seems that you can't use "touchpad toggle" button because it gets disabled every time you start session, however you can set any other shortcut and stays configured.

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.
