Created attachment 132621 [details] Duplicate Latte Dock entries in Shortcuts settings screen, with plasmashell being the currently selected app SUMMARY Application names for kwin and plasmashell are being displayed as "Latte Dock" in the Shortcuts page of System Settings despite showing correct icons. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Latte if it's not installed in your system 2. Log out and log back in, or alternatively, restart kglobalaccel5 in the terminal or KRunner 3. Open System Settings, go to Shortcuts, and note the duplicate "Latte Dock" entries with different icons in the application list OBSERVED RESULT There would be three "Latte Dock" entries on the application list, and "KWin" or "Plasma Workspace" can't be found in that list. EXPECTED RESULT Only one "Latte Dock" entry would appear in the apps list, and both "KWin" and "Plasma Workspace" would appear with their matching icons. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 5.8 64-bit (Manjaro) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As an attempt to manually fix the wrong names, I changed the _k_friendly_name values for plasmashell and kwin in .config/kglobalshortcutsrc, ran kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental, and the new display name for kwin would apply in the app list. However, plasmashell keeps "Latte Dock" for its _k_friendly_name value as if I never touched it. The _k_friendly_name value for kwin would regress back to "Latte Dock" every time Plasma is upgraded while Latte is still installed. I've noted this annoying behavior since at least Plasma 5.18. Note that in the attached screenshot, I've already done the above steps to fix the display name for KWin. The shortcuts being shown in the screenshot is for plasmashell, and the icons look slightly different because I'm using the Papirus icon theme.
UPDATE I uninstalled Latte Dock a few weeks ago over memory leak concerns, and after installing every new Plasma update (I'm now on 5.21.2), the display name for KWin becomes a duplicate "Plasma" entry but with the KWin icon. I tried clearing my kglobalshortcutsrc file, and the wrong display name assignments persist. I have updated the title of this ticket and added a new attachment (screenshot) to reflect on this update.
Created attachment 136598 [details] Duplicate Plasma entries with Latte Dock not installed UPDATE I uninstalled Latte Dock a few weeks ago over memory leak concerns, and after installing every new Plasma update (I'm now on 5.21.2), the display name for KWin now becomes a duplicate "Plasma" entry but with the correct icon. In addition I tried clearing my kglobalshortcutsrc file and logged out and back in, and the kwin entry still doesn't correct itself. I have updated the title of this ticket and added a new attachment (screenshot) to reflect on this update. Note that I'm using a different icon theme than Breeze in the screenshot.
I found bug #440259 via Nate Graham's blog post posted earlier (https://pointieststick.com/2021/07/30/this-week-in-kde-better-hidpi-on-x11/), and it turns out the observed behavior is very similar to this ticket. The only difference is that I'm using Plasma on X11, but either way, I'm hoping the commit that resolved the aformentioned bug fixes this one too.
As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now. Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again. Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
