Greetings, since the last two updates of plasma on my debian testing machine (quite recently), I noticed that my custom shortcuts do not work right after login. Interestingly, I also noticed that at some point they would work, according to the following sequence: - open the System Settings window: not yet - select Shortcuts: not yet - select Custom shortcuts: not yet - select my own group of shortcuts without modifying anything: yes! the shortcuts work. I hope this is enough to trace back the problem. Thank you for such an amazing desktop ! Filippo
Are you using X11 or Wayland? Were these custom shortcuts using the "Custom Shortcuts" page in system settings, or the "Shortcuts" page?

Greetings, thank you for your response. First of all, after a second upgrade, the situation is more erratic: some times the shortcuts do not work and then other times they do. It seems like there might be a timer that waits for them to be configured and set. Anyhow, I am using Xorg. Sincerely, Filippo PS One thing I am starting to see as I go: if I start firefox with my custom shortcut Win+F, after some time it crashes (or closes, I cannot tell). At that point, I try to use the custom shortcut again, and that time it would not work (Firefox does not start). I start it using KRunner and then it never crashes (or closes).
But were these custom shortcuts set using the "Custom Shortcuts" page in system settings, or the "Shortcuts" page?

Thanks. JFYI the "Custom Shortcuts" page is deprecated and I would recommend migrating your shortcuts to the newer "Shortcuts" page
Greetings, having followed your suggestion that Custom shortcuts should now be moved to the Shortcuts section, I have not observed the reported failures anymore. Maybe we could close the issue since people experiencing the same issues will know here how to proceed to fix them ? Anyways, most sincerely, Filippo PS Keep up with the wonderful work you do in KDE/Plasma :-)
Oh good! Thanks for the kind words :)
