I have printscreen bound to a shell script which used to work great, but after updating kde/plasma recently it no longer works - the script simply never gets run.

The mapping is still listed in systemsettings -> workspace -> shortcuts -> custom shortcuts, however nothing happens when I press printscreen.

I tried setting it to other combinations (eg shift+print, ctrl+alt+J), none worked - even if I was asked to reassign it from another action (eg examples -> type hello) that previously worked!

I tried assigning other commands (krita, gimp, logger -t shortcut works), also with no effect.

Thus, it appears that Command/URL global shortcuts have somehow been broken in this update.

Please let me know any debugging steps that may be useful, I miss my conveniently organised screenshots!

The shortcuts were migrated from the old KHotkeys system to the newer KGlobalAccel system in the meantime. Any chance this is still happening?

It seems to have somehow resolved itself at some point in the past year.

I'm on 5.18.5 at the moment, everything's working fine
