SUMMARY The global shortcut for keyboard input no longer works after updating to 5.21 beta. This is currently important to me as the backtick is bound to Yakuake. However, from my observation this not only affects backtick and is a more general issue as creating a shortcut to type hello when pressing Ctrl + Shift + T does not work as well. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to System Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts 2. Create a new Keyboard Input shortcut (Edit > New > Global Shortcuts > Send Keyboard Input) and name it Backtick 3. Go to trigger and set trigger to Meta + ` (backtick) 4. Set action to type in a backtick (`) 5. Press apply 6. On any window (QT and non-QT), press Meta + ` OBSERVED RESULT Pressing Meta + ` does not insert a backtick EXPECTED RESULT Pressing Meta + ` should insert a backtick SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.11-arch1-1 OS Type: 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This does not seem to be specific to backtick as creating a shortcut to type hello when pressing Ctrl + Shift + T did not work as well.
Hi Jan, are you using layout's variants? Just wanted to make sure you don't suffer from Bug 432367 which might be related.

Hi Andrey, I'm using the English (US) Colemak through fcitx and I haven't noticed any keys typing the wrong character. Same issue happens even if I disable fcitx. I also have another custom shortcut created with Global Shortcut > Command/URL which is bound to Meta + A and it's working fine.
"Global shortcuts" and "Custom shortcuts" go through two different systems so probably khotkeys cannot handle the backtick?
Hi. I have similar issue. I use custom shortcuts for specific words in my work, like emails, usernames and other things. Last days, using by example Win+V to type the word "vmorenomarin", the trigger only returns "morenomarin", opens the launcher and blocks the window until press the Win key.

Can you try just English (US) layout? Also, do combos with Alt instead of Meta work for you?
