SUMMARY keyboard shortcuts dont work with sh scripts STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a sh script that creates a file 'touch test.txt' 2. create a shortcut pointing the the test.sh 3. active hotkey, no file is created, script has not run OBSERVED RESULT nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT sh script should execute the same as if it was clicked in dolphin or from the terminal SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.21.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please include a screenshot of how you are creating a shortcut pointing to the file. Please ensure the script works if you do ./myScript in a terminal and not "sh myScript" (i.e executable + correct shebang line)

Works for me with KHotkeys, but I cannot even get the script file to appeal in the (non-Custom) Shortcuts KCM at all. Can you please confirm that the script file has been marked as executable?
yep the script is executable. When I execute it manually it works fine. Just my hot key is not working. Are you adding it via 'Shortcuts' or 'Custom shortcuts' ?
I added it via Custom shortcuts and it worked. I was unable to add it via Shortcuts due to Bug 440431. Were you able to somehow work around that?
Yes I was previously able to add it shortcuts as an application before the plasma 5.22 update. But I can no longer add it on 5.22. Adding to custom shortcuts is not triggering still. What I have noticed it that none of the custom shortcuts work for me! Print screen for example does not work. I think this may be from my custom kde script where I configure the shortcuts. This is my kde configuration script (for manjaro) which removes a lot of fluff I don't use. I suggest you run this in a manjaro vm on a fresh install. That should reproduce the issue. https://github.com/bit-shift-io/scripts/blob/master/kde.sh I'm still hanging out for a way to import/export all kde settings instead of this script :)
OK, so we have a couple of bugs then. Bug 440431 is about being unable to add script shortcuts at all in the Shortcuts KCM. This is about them not working if you manage to add them (though the root cause might be the same). If no global shortcuts are working at all for you, that would be still another bug. This is working for me, FWIW.
Looking at this again, its not all of the shortcuts not working. My shortcut to open the terminal for example works (ctrl alt t) and dolphin (meta e). So i'm still not sure whats going on.
Well this is now working for me! I dont know whats changed, but suddenly working!
