SUMMARY When I add a German/Neo2 keyboard layout while having german/qwertz or us layout enabled, some application local shortcuts (so far I have noticed ctrl+y and alt+x) are consumed by kglobalaccel. E.g., if I map alt+x to new tab in yakuake, that shortcut does not work as long as the neo2 layout is present in added to the keyboard layout list. xev shows an FocusOut event, that consumes the key press "x". If the neo2 layout is removed everything works as expected. Using a fresh ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc does NOT resolve the problem. The bug is reproducible on two different machines. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add German/Neo2 keyboard layout (here German/qwertz and us layout are configured as well). Do NOT activate the Neo 2 layout. Keep using the qwertz or us layout. 2. start xev 3. press ctrl+y or alt+x OBSERVED RESULT KeyPress event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 18270476, (1138,217), root:(2929,610), state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False FocusOut event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusIn event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 4294967254 0 0 0 0 0 32 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 18270566, (1138,217), root:(2929,610), state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 108, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 18270612, (1138,217), root:(2929,610), state 0x10, keycode 53 (keysym 0x78, x), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (78) "x" XFilterEvent returns: False EXPECTED RESULT KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 17900868, (678,345), root:(2469,738), state 0x10, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 17900944, (678,345), root:(2469,738), state 0x18, keycode 53 (keysym 0x78, x), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (78) "x" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (78) "x" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 17900976, (678,345), root:(2469,738), state 0x18, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x6a00001, root 0x1d6, subw 0x0, time 17901024, (678,345), root:(2469,738), state 0x10, keycode 53 (keysym 0x78, x), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (78) "x" XFilterEvent returns: False SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Gentoo Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 (built against 5.11.2)
This causes problems with most keyboard layouts and makes KDE almost unusable for me. Is there any hope of getting this looked at? If not, I'll need to switch to another desktop environment. I took a brief look at kglobalaccel5 but I wasn't able to track any kind of obvious bugs down.
This is also a problem on OpenSuse Tumbleweed Frameworks 5.66
This bug might be a duplicate of 365890. Please try out the patch I posted over there.
The patch fix-x11-keygrabs from Bug 365890 did not resolve my issue. alt+x still does not work in yakuake as sson I add the neo layout to the list of configured keyboard layouts. Thus, I do not say these bugs are unrelated, but at least the patch is incomplete.
I noticed this issue when pasting multiple lines into weechat, an ncurses-based IRC client for the terminal. If ran via Konsole, I can paste multiple lines, but weechat asks for confirmation before sending the lines out. I can either confirm with ctrl-Y or abort with ctrl-N. Ever since adding neo2 to the list of available layouts ctrl-Y doesn't work for me anymore, thus preventing me from multiline-pasting. Indeed, removing neo2 from the list of available layouts fixes this issue! Thanks for this bug report, I never would've thought of that.
