I upgraded to KDE 5.12.0 last night, and some of my default global shortcuts are no longer working. KDE: 5.12.0 Frameworks: 5.42.0 QT: 5.9.3 Kernel: 4.4.0-112-generic The following global shortcuts no longer work: Mic Mute Brightness down Brightness up The following global shortcuts continue to work fine: Audio mute Audio Volume down Audio Volume up Change screen layout Wifi On/Off Search The keys are sending events fine, and when trying to configure the shortcut I am getting the conflict warning: https://i.imgur.com/2cP7h3e.png However I cannot mute/unmute my microphone nor change screen brightness when pressing them. This is what I get from xev: KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001, root 0x137, subw 0x8600002, time 16304780, (57,52), root:(1799,1161), state 0x0, keycode 198 (keysym 0x1008ffb2, XF86AudioMicMute), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001, root 0x137, subw 0x8600002, time 16306313, (57,52), root:(1799,1161), state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001, root 0x137, subw 0x8600002, time 16306313, (57,52), root:(1799,1161), state 0x0, keycode 232 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001, root 0x137, subw 0x8600002, time 16306892, (57,52), root:(1799,1161), state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x8600001, root 0x137, subw 0x8600002, time 16306892, (57,52), root:(1799,1161), state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
Reassigning to powerdevil as powerdevil shortcuts are affected. There are no changes in kglobalaccel.
I can confirm this at least for "Mute Microphone". I don't have a dedicate key for that, so I set it to Meta+F3. It stopped working after upgrading to Plasma 5.12. Plasma: 5.12.0 Frameworks: 5.42.0 Qt: 5.10.0
I am also experiencing problems with shortcuts on 5.12. Working: Wifi toggle Display brightness down Display brightness up Display on/off (I think this one isn't handled by plasma though) External display Touchpad toggle (well it's affected by another bug) Audio mute, louder, quieter Not working: Suspend Keyboard brightness down Keyboard brightness up
Also, this seems to be a duplicate of Bug 389991
