ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-06-20 15:07:39 UTC
Works here on X, Ctrl+Alt+K
Comment 2 Yan 2019-06-20 17:15:17 UTC
I use win+space as a shortcut
Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2019-07-14 19:14:00 UTC
I can confirm this bug on Arch Linux running Plasma 5.16.3.
The OSD does not appear when I switch the keyboard layout by clicking its
icon in the systray on X11 session.

X11 session on Neon unstable edition

This issue persists on Plasma 5.18. Wayland session is also affected.

On Neon unstable edition OSD works yet, but it has different appearance depending on session used.
Compare the attached screenshots taken on X11 and Wayland sessions please.

Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2020-02-13 12:25:11 UTC
Here "Display visual feedback for status changes" was unchecked in system settings > general behavior.
Now I also get different OSDs on X11 and Wayland sessions, as we can see in my attached screenshots, on Arch Linux.
Comment 7 phrxmd 2020-06-28 09:10:38 UTC
I just filed bug 423611 where I see a similar behaviour (no OSD), but only when the keyboard shortcut is from the "main" shortcut list. If I switch keyboards using a user-defined "alternative" shortcut, the OSD appears. This might be the same bug, and also the reason why not everybody can reproduce this.

Works in the Wayland session.

AFAIK it now doesn't work even for secondary shortcut too because of bug 435533

I have the same problem in 5.27.10. The difference between main and alternative shortcuts is that the main ones are pre-defined (have to be checked in a list), while the alternative shortcut has to "manually", actively introduced, that is used, sampled.
Comment 21 cipricus 2024-03-19 08:23:05 UTC
The per-layout shortcuts do not trigger the OSD either (in X11). Plasma 5.27.10. Only the alternative shortcut does.
Comment 22 ratijas 2024-03-26 18:19:38 UTC
Changing the status back to CONFIRMED since no one is actively working on it.

FWIW I do experience the same issue. Seems like keyboard shortcuts and mappings are a hot mess due to historical reasons somewhat outside of our control :(
