example of trigger

SUMMARY
When setting a shortcut that includes a dead key in the 'Trigger' tab the shortcut will not work.  


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set keyboard layout to include dead keys (for example: US int with dead keys)
2. Create or modify a custom shortcut in system settings -> Custom Shortcuts
3. In the Trigger set a shortcut with a dead key, for example control + dead_grave, you will see some oddly formatted combo and it will not work.

Any workarounds to fix this temporarily?

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.
