SUMMARY I set up Meta+A for FolderView widget's activation (which I added to the panel) and every time I logout and login the shortcut is missing! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. set shortcut 2. logout 3. login OBSERVED RESULT no shortcut EXPECTED RESULT working shortcut SOFTWARE VERSIONS (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50 Qt Version: 5.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same thing on my system. Shortcut is lost when session/computer is restarted. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.1 Qt Version: 5.12.0 beta2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.51.0
any news/updates on this? I found out that changing shortcut to something else than meta+A also disappears after plasma restart or login/logout. Also in System Settings > Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts > Plasma it says that activate home widget is assigned to meta+A, and sometimes that record disappears, sometimes not. Anyway I still need to manually set this shortcut in home widget settings :(
I also ran into this recently, will look into it.
If the applet is on a latte dock, restarting latte also eradicates the shortcut, even without restarting Plasma.
I've also determined that upon quitting latte-dock, the shortcut remains properly defined inside kglobalshortcutsrc. It is only when starting the dock again that the shortcut is eliminated.
(In reply to Eike Hein from comment #3) > I also ran into this recently, will look into it. any news?
so will this ever be fixed?
Hmm, I had hoped that this would be fixed by the fix for Bug 430282, but after testing, it's still broken.
so where are we? :)
Just re-tested this in Plasma 5.26 and it seems to be fixed now!
