Description gudvinr+kde 2020-06-02 23:46:57 UTC
SUMMARY

I use keyboard which is able to produce key codes for extra function keys and F24 in particular. And it isn't possible to set shortcut using this key.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to "Shortcuts"
2. Open any action to set shortcut
3. Send key combination which contains F24

OBSERVED RESULT
Key tester ignores F24 key and shows just modifier (if any).

EXPECTED RESULT
Correctly enter key combination with F24 key.

Can confirm, this issue still exists in plasma 6
Comment 2 fanzhuyifan 2024-02-01 04:39:39 UTC
Can confirm on wayland, master
Comment 3 fanzhuyifan 2024-02-01 05:29:41 UTC
Actually could you provide the output of `xmodmap -pke`? KDE cannot handle keys not defined in the keyboard mapping, and I think that is causing the issue.
Comment 4 gudvinr+kde 2024-02-01 06:53:55 UTC
I don't see F24 here, however I don't see F13-F23 either but I can map those to shortcuts anyway.
Those keycodes could be defined as XF86Whatever but I am not sure about that.

I think those gets mapped to XF86 keys. So I think that F19 also wouldn't work for you, because its keycode is unmapped.

I'll take a deeper look. Might be the same issue as 475574. But I am afraid the earliest version you can expect to see a patch would be 6.1, since 6.0 is already just around the corner.
Comment 8 gudvinr+kde 2024-02-01 07:32:33 UTC
If that would be the only issue Wayland has, I could swallow it and redefine QMK configuration. It's not urgent by any means.
That's actually what I did when I first had this issue on X11 so it didn't really bother for a long time. Although less issues is always better.

Indeed. With remapping it begins to work:
$ xmodmap -e "keycode 197 = F19"
$ xmodmap -e "keycode 202 = F24"

> I want to talk about how your F keys goes to 24. Forget about the bug. 😲

You don't need keyboard that has F* keys to go to 24. Keyboard doesn't really know what key is pressed in same sense that OS does.
Keyboard sends scancodes which might be translated as any key in OS.

In most notebook keyboards Fn toggles F* row between F1-F12 keys and "action" keys like brightness control, volume control, etc.
To simplify, these "action keys" have same scancodes that F13-F24 would have if you had them present. And you can remap scancodes to be registered by OS as F13-F24 keys yourself, if you want to.

But in my case, I use QMK keyboard that sends scancodes for F13-F24 to avoid using same scancodes that my main keyboard.

> I want to talk about how your F keys goes to 24. Forget about the bug. 😲

in my case I can just rebind the keys in software, so added fn+Fkeys to f13-24.
Comment 13 Dashon 2024-03-11 17:24:55 UTC
I believe the issue that I'm having is related to this one, where I have a key on my keyboard that has a picture of a calculator on it. I believe it was sending keycode 148 = XF86Calculator NoSymbol XF86Calculator when pressed. It used to launch kcalc, but now does nothing and I can't reassign it. Pressing that key to try and assign a shortcut to it does nothing.

There was another bug about that, should be fixed when you upgrade to qt 6.7 but you need to rebind the key in settings.

No need to rebind if you just want to use the default calculator key for kcalc.

Okay, thanks for the info.
Comment 18 Nicolas Fella 2024-03-19 21:40:44 UTC
So the issue here is that XKB doesn't map the keycode to any keysym?

That is controlled by the user configurable keymap. When a keycode is unmapped, currently we cannot handle it in shortcuts.

Is that any different on Wayland? I can live with that on X11 but I don't think that manual remapping is correct (as in user friendly) way to do things moving forward.

Unfortunately, given the current codebase, we also rely on that on wayland.
Currently all shortcuts are stored using QKeySequence. We use the keymap to convert keycodes to keysyms, and then convert the keysyms into Qt keys. If we want to support platform native keycodes, that would need a pretty significant change throughout the code base.
