Description KDE Neon user 2016-07-05 14:30:39 UTC
This setting can be checked in the settings for a new KDE Neon install, but it doesn't do anything.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Keyboard Hardware and Layout settings 
2. Check the option in the advanced tab to enable the Ctrl + Alt + Backspace shortcut


Actual Results:  
It doesn't do anything because Ubuntu (the base for Neon) prevents that toggle from working, according to https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=133697&p=359377#p359377

Expected Results:  
The shortcut should work as expected, since that setting is provided by a clean KDE Neon install.

Since KDE Neon is provided as an ISO/installable OS by itself, it should either overwrite Canonical's limitation for that shortcut, or hide it from the GUI.

Works just fine for me. Moving to keyboard kcm.

@Harald Sitter On KDE Neon User Edition, I had to enable it via that terminal command first.

What does     sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration do in terms of relevant file system changes?

The shortcut works for me on the current live version of KDE Neon.
