Description Ron Smeral 2015-08-12 13:34:42 UTC
Functions which have a global shortcut assigned which includes the grave character ( ` - above tab) don't react to that shortcut. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Select a function with a global shortcut assignable - e.g. kmix, Mute
3. Assign a global shortcut including the grave, e.g. Alt+`
4. Apply
5. Try pressing Alt+` anywhere

Actual Results:  
The assigned function is not invoked (sound not un/muted). Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The assigned function should be invoked (e.g. sound un/muted). 

Environment: 
* clean install of Fedora 22 x64 KDE, with a clean home, updated
* Lenovo T440s, docked and undocked, tried builtin and external keyboard
* also does not work on a Lenovo T540

Works on other computers, e.g. works on Lenovo T520, or in a VM.
Other global shortcuts work, e.g. Alt+1 work.

Can you please post the output of
   setxkbmap -print
and
   setxkbmap -query

I have a very similar issue (so i assume it must be related), only affected keys are different: ";" and "/".

I'm using Debian sid.

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"     };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

$ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us

I can attest that this issue still exists in:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0

This is a thing that annoys me for years and I am willing to provide assistance in resolving it.
Comment 5 Niksa Baldun 2021-03-21 08:55:43 UTC
Disregard my previous comment. It is not the same issue.
Comment 6 Oded Arbel 2022-11-22 10:56:29 UTC
I cannot reproduce with current Plasma 5.26 - using ALT+` works fine for me.
