Description jat255 2015-07-01 04:10:32 UTC
Using the Global Keyboard Shortcuts module, I have set the walk through windows command as "Alt+`", and the walk through windows reverse commad as "Alt+~". When trying to use these shortcuts though, the "Alt+~" sequence seems to be never received, and the windows walk through in their normal order, rather than reversed.

This bug is not specific to this specific command. Setting any item to the "Alt+~" shortcut does not work. "Ctrl+~" also does not appear to work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Global Keyboard Shortcuts menu, set some command to "Alt+~"
2. Press "Alt+~" ("Alt+Shift+`")
3. Notice that nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
The shortcut should be activated.

This bug also shows up in KCalc. I cannot use '*' or '+' shortcuts in order to multiply or add.
Comment 2 jat255 2015-09-07 18:10:53 UTC
This bug also shows up in KCalc. I cannot use '*' or '+' shortcuts in order to multiply or add, because they require holding down of shift.

I'm experiencing this also. It's minor, but it would be nice for this to be fixed.
Comment 4 jat255 2015-10-17 01:12:12 UTC
Yes, I agree it's minor, but it makes KDE appear unpolished as things unexpectedly don't work as they should. The KCalc example is a good one. I've actually switched to a different calculator program because I cannot add numbers without clicking!

+1 on the bug. I don't know if the keycodes changed, but + and * don't work in KCalc. On a laptop keyboard, it is rather annoying to have to use the mouse for those keys. This issue has been around for a while, which surprises me. Bug 135468 seems to be related.
Comment 6 Thomas Lübking 2016-02-09 20:26:56 UTC
kcalc is bug #350947, original bug *likely* fixed in kglobalaccel 5.16 and up.
Bug #135468 is completely unrelated to anything; complaint about visual feedback in kcalc.
