Description techxgames 2021-07-28 23:23:24 UTC
SUMMARY
I can't open any window using the the Latte task manager with keyboard shortcuts

OBSERVED RESULT
On my Kubuntu 20.10 with Latte 0.9.98, I can't open any windows using the keyboard shortcuts.  Latte 0.9.12 on my KDE Neon Testing Edition is also experiencing the same thing, but it activates the task manager on my secondary monitor with default Plasma panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to open applications with keyboard shortcuts

1. Plasma systemsettings, Shortcuts are those enabled only for Latte and not Plasma? 
2. Use defaultand confirm it is still valid

They work just fine so it is something wrong on your system configuration
Comment 3 Michail Vourlakos 2021-07-29 06:10:52 UTC
3. 0.9.12 is not maintained any more, try with latest git version to validate the issue

There's no "Plasma" entry on the System Services section in my Shortcuts.

Very first thing I looked for.

I opened bug 440391 as well.
Comment 6 techxgames 2021-08-01 08:04:24 UTC
I just ran a test, and see what happens if I added another panel with icons-only task manager, and it worked!

And I noticed that the Latte entry in shortcuts with the task manager shortcuts would disappear.  When I ran latte-dock --replace, it went back, but the Plasma entry disappeared.
Comment 7 techxgames 2021-08-01 08:11:31 UTC
Another update. 

I did the following:

1. Add the default Plasma panel with icons-only task manager.
2. Refresh shortcuts
3. Remove task manager shortcuts
4. Remove default panels & "classic" task manager that's on my second monitor in the  Plasma panel.
5. Reload Latte
6. Reload Shortcuts
7. Re-enable task manager shortcuts on Latte

Still didn't work.

FYI the alternate method where your keyboard shortcut will activate a "more universal" panel items doesn't work either.
Comment 10 techxgames 2021-08-05 08:23:44 UTC
I renamed the one with "plasmashell" as "Plasma", and I remapped everything to Latte Dock.  It worked!

However, while my KDE Neon Testing Edition desktop was able to use my preferred method of "Activating Entry" being limited to my tasks only, it doesn't work with my Kubuntu laptop (which activates my app launcher with Meta+1 instead of the first task manager entry).

I found the post about disabling unified global shortcuts, but it didn't work on my Kubuntu laptop with 0.9.98

The guide is for old versions. The option is at Tasks advanced page to disable unified global based on position shortcuts.

It's not there, but I found "Activate based on position global shortcuts" in Behavior tab.  I deactivated it, and it didn't work.

Comment 16 techxgames 2021-08-05 17:38:52 UTC
Never mind.  I had to disable and reenable advanced options to see it. Odd..

Also my Shortcuts page now has 2 Latte Docks again.  It didn't bork it like last time, but I'm now seeing 2 again on my Kubuntu laptop with Latte 0.9.98.

Ask kglobalaccel for doubled records, it is not latte fault.
