Problem: To scroll on my touchpad I use two fingers. This always triggers the ctrl + w shortcut for closing tabs, e.g. in chromium and dolphin. I have no idea where this is coming from. I tride the following:

1) Systemsettings → Custom Shortcuts

There was a default mouse gesture (like a "Z") for triggering ctrl + w but it was already disabled. There is no other gesture triggering ctrl + w

2) Systemsettings → Standard Shortcuts

By default, the shortcut for Close is ctrl + w. Changed it to "None" and restarted dolphin and chromium. Ctrl + w as well as my unintended mouse gesture still closes tabs

I am not sure, but there might be two bugs:
1) The gesture for triggering ctrl + w is not defined anywhere but still working. Bug!
2) It is not possible to disable the ctrl + w shortcut. Bug!

Btw, default and custom shortcuts in general are working just fine besides this problem

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
