SUMMARY Using a shortcut, such as Meta+Return, to launch a KDE program like Dolphin works as expected, but attempting the same with a non-KDE program, like Alacritty, doesn't work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go into System Settings -> Shortcuts -> Global Shortcuts -> Add Application 2. Choose a program such as Alacritty 3. Under Applications, click on newly created Alacritty tab 4. Under Custom Shortcuts, click on "+ Add custom shortcut" 5. Input a shortcut, such as Meta+Return 6. Click "Apply" on bottom right of window OBSERVED RESULT Using shortcut doesn't launch application EXPECTED RESULT Using shortcut should launch application SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: 5.4.45-1-lts (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Restarting the computer and updating all packages on the computer didn't fix the problem.
I can't confirm this issue. I have assigned meta+return to Gnome disks, audacity and nautilus file manager and it always worked. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0

I installed the plasma-meta package, so I thought I'd gotten everything I'd need, but earlier today I found out I needed kdialog to get the proper GUI to pop up when I save things from my browser. So maybe I just need to install something else for this as well.
