I can create and use a custom shortcut ("Global Shortcut / Command/URL") successfully. However, editing the "Action" after it is created is not possible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Goto "System settings / Shortcuts / Custom Shortcuts" or run "kcmshell5 khotkeys" 2. Create a new "Global Shortcut" of type "Command/URL", e.g.: - Shortcut: Meta+. - Command/URL: xdotool type $(date +"%d.%m.%Y") 3. "Apply" and close the dialog. 4. Goto "System settings / Shortcuts / Custom Shortcuts" again. 5. Edit your Shortcut, e.g. try to change Command/URL to : xdotool type --clearmodifiers $(date +"%d.%m.%Y") 6. "Apply" and close the dialog. (There is no error message). Actual Results: The change to the shortcut action (Command/URL) never gets saved. The custom shortcut must be deleted and recreated to apply changes. Expected Results: The change to the shortcut action (Command/URL) should be saved and applied.

Solved with khotkeys version 5.5.0.
Yupp, fixed it (was broken all along KDE 5... khotkeys is apparently unmaintained)
