SUMMARY Since updating to plasma 5.23.0/frameworks 5.87.0 most keyboard modifiers are completely non functional in wayland apps, although they seem to work as expected in xwayland apps. Most keyboard modifiers such as Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Capslock/shift for capital letters, Meta or Alt+F1 to open klauncher/kickoff. Caplock light, etc, do not work. Some modifiers do work, such as Shift and +/_ or Alt + G. Keyboard shortcuts/modifiers work as expected in X11 session. They also worked as expected in the wayland session in 5.22.5/5.85.0. Keyboard layout is US intl with dead keys. Although I've also tried bog standard US layout to no avail. When attempting to change a keyboard shortcut the shortcut editor only seems to capture one key, if that helps. If I press Alt+F1 it captures Alt but overrides it F1 when the second key is pressed for example. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login to wayland session 2. Try to use a keyboard shortcut/modifier such as Meta or Alt+F1 to open kickoff. 3. Try to use caplock, Ctrl+C/V/A in konsole. OBSERVED RESULT Keyboard shortcuts/modifiers do not work. EXPECTED RESULT Keyboard shortcuts/modifiers should work as expected. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Solus (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: kde/5.15 branch (sept 20th/21) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My distribution last synced with the qt kde branch on Sept. 20th, let me know of any commits i should try and backport. Happy to try and backport commits in general.
Update: updated an old drive to 5.23 (same os) and the keyboard shortcuts work as expected on that system. It seems to be a configuration issue on this system in particular, any ideas?
Resolved: had to delete all keyboard layouts in system-settings then add them again. Maybe this can be merged into an existing bug if a similar issue already exists.
