QKeySequence (ie. the local action system) doesn't distinguish between them and (thus?) KKeySequenceButton and the other suspects do neither (you get "Ctrl++" whether you used the alphanum or the num block to enter it) In a way this is a regression (because one could distinguish years before and the keys are treated different by X11 and Qt sets the Qt::KeypadModifier on the event, but status quo is that the mentioned numeric block keys are virtually dead as shortcuts. So better take them as equivalent? Reproducible: Always
Numpad keys are now treated differently. https://phabricator.kde.org/D6226 (for recording, and this is enough to make them work in all apps) And for kglobalaccel, the patches are up: https://phabricator.kde.org/D6233 https://phabricator.kde.org/D6234 See also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183458. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 183458 ***
