Description FabiB 2017-10-15 08:37:03 UTC
With german "default" tastatur model, I'm unable to use "`" (in between ? and BACKSPACE on my keyboard). When i Press it, some other window will popup and if i press it again, this one windows will minimized and un-minimized.

Via kwin debug console i can see that this key sends 2 things.

xkb-symbol 0
xkb-symbol 180

The same thing happens with "^"

It also sends out xkb-symbol 0 and minimizes/ unminimizes a window
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2017-10-15 09:19:30 UTC
This sounds like a modifier is activated. Can you check in the debug console what's the state of the modifiers?
Comment 2 FabiB 2017-10-15 12:36:09 UTC
Thanks for the reply, sadly no modifiers are active
Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-11-11 12:48:08 UTC
Do you have a global shortcut configured for minimize window?
Comment 4 FabiB 2017-11-11 15:55:49 UTC
No. I also tried with a fresh user and also on KDE neon. It's always the exact same.
Comment 5 Geoffrey Danet 2018-02-27 17:10:55 UTC
I have the same issue with french keyboard on Archlinux (plasma release 5.12.2).

The key "^" seems to minimize/un-minimize the active window.
This is possible to print the character after pressing the key several times (8 times).

This bug doesn't append on Plasma X11 or on another DE using wayland.

Note : Since today, this key call the screenshot software "spectacle".
