I'm using two mappings from which I switch regularly: fr-azerty and fr-bepo (a kind of dvorak for french). I start with bepo, which is active most of the time. My X defaults to bepo: Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbVariant" "bepo" When I use keyboard shortcuts and the bepo is activated, global shortcuts are mapped to the azerty position. For instance, for locking, Ctrl+Alt+L is on bepo's R location (which is the azerty L location). Shortcuts are placed correctly when I am using the azerty mapping. Bepo is my first mapping in KDE's keyboard preferences. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Shortcuts should follow mapping
I'm confused, can you make sure I have this right: you have bepo active if you press "L" on the keyboard you get an "r" printed in an editor. pressing control+alt+L locks the screen, whereas it should be control+alt+whatever L In Bepo is ?
That's right.
It's getting a bit weirder. It seems that when I plug an additional keyboard (when at home, with the docking station), the layout is correct on this additional keyboard.

I was pointed here by Thomas Lübking: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=130179&p=348185#p348185 In my case, the wrong mappings are tied to passwordless autologin on boot (as I'm using harddrive encryption and typing one password is enough for my taste.) That is, can someone reproduce wrong global shortcut mappings, after explicitly logging out, selecting his account and logging in again?
My Keyboard Layout is: Map us Layout English (US) Variant English (Dvorak) All keyboard input uses the Dvorak variant on boot. Also: My Application Keyboard Shortcuts use the Dvorak variant on boot My Global Keyboard Shortcuts use the Dvorak variant on boot My Custom Shortcuts (Konsole Meta+T etc) do NOT use the Dvorak variant on boot but only the English (US) layout. Like Holger, I use passwordless autologin on boot. If I log out and log in again the Custom Shortcuts DO use the Dvorak variant of English (US). I have set a separate password for KDE though, at the moment, I am the only user. But I have used autologin with KDE4 and the Dvorak variant of my Custom Shortcuts has always worked. If it's any help (I'm not a programmer) kglobalshortcutsrc says: [khotkeys] _k_friendly_name=KDE Daemon {7bc41141-af1b-4d8b-881e-ef505bc7ed9a}=Meta+D,none,New Action {acb5bba1-0558-4acc-92bf-6451060320b5}=Meta+G,none,New Action {cc2cb7bf-5df6-44b5-b820-1edd0234390f}=Meta+T,none,Konsole {ce5de1dd-67c2-451e-955e-ac658371fbcf}=Meta+C,none,New Action Reproducible: Always
Yeah, same for me, passwordless login…
