SUMMARY Global actions/shortcuts in System Settings - Shortcuts - Media Controller work only when EN language is selected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Assign Global Shortcuts in System Settings - Shortcuts with EN layout. 2. Choose any language with non-latin layout and shortcuts stop working. OBSERVED RESULT Shortcuts work only in language used to assign them. EXPECTED RESULT Global shortcuts should not depend on keyboard layout. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-46-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
Which specific language are you using? And are you talking about the system language, or the keyboard layout? Or both?
System Settings - Keyboard => Configure => Layouts Shortcuts were assigned in EN. Just change language to BG, RU, UK, etc and shortcuts stop working.
So I tried adding Greek to the keyboard layout list and switching to it, and then I pressed Meta+W (the actual "W" key on my keyboard, which under Greek types the "ς" character ) and the Overview effect opened as expected. Can you be specific about: 1. What your physical keyboard layout is 2. What exact keyboard layout you've chosen in System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Layouts 3. What specific global action you're trying to trigger, and what its Latin alphabet global shortcut is? Thanks!
Sorry for being messy... This problem is not that simple. physical keyboard layout: English System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard: US, UK, GR, JP, BG, PL Greek do not work, Ukrainian do not work Bulgarian works, Japanese Works English works of course Polish do not work I trigger next and previous track: Metal + Alt + Z/Metal + Alt + B As for me, I need Ukrainian at the moment.
My physical layout is Focus, not English, lol https://deskthority.net/wiki/Physical_keyboard_layout The so-called "Focus" layout is an alternative to Asian 101, where right shift is divided instead of Backspace. While the JIS layout also features a split right shift, JIS keyboards place the extra key to the left of right shift, whereas the Focus layout puts the extra key to the right. The origin of the layout is not known, but it is most notable by its use by Focus.
