Description Maximilian Böhm 2022-10-26 16:25:40 UTC
Starting with Plasma 5.26, my custom key shortcuts with custom actions (not the usual Plasma/Kwin shortcuts but my own) don’t work anymore after some uptime. There just isn’t happening anything.

Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6

How exactly did you set these shortcuts?

Are you on X11 or Wayland?

What keyboard layout are you using, and does it match the physical layout of your hardware keyboard?
Comment 2 Maximilian Böhm 2022-10-26 20:11:17 UTC
I set these shortcuts via the system settings. E.g. F4 for "xdotool key ctrl+w", Ctrl + F10 for a custom script etc. X.org session. I’m using the German Neo keyboard layout on a German keyboard with switched keycaps.

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.
