I have a logitech internet keyboard with a calculator launch button. If I add a Global Shortcut to launch kcalc and assign a global key or alternate, nothing happens when the keys are pressed. Creating a "Custom Shortcut" and assigning a trigger and action works as expected.
Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
This bug is no longer relevant. The current mechanisms have worked for me for a long time.
