SUMMARY Window minimization and maximization stopped working with shortcuts STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings-Shortcuts-KWin-Minimize Window 2. Add a shortcut (ie. Meta+PgDown) 3. Press meta+pgdown OBSERVED RESULT Nothing EXPECTED RESULT Minimized window SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This seems like a regression in .1 - I think it worked in 5.27
Are other global shortcuts all broken too? Are you using Wayland or X11? If Wayland, I wonder if this could have been a regression from https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/7e4159e46f816dc65ac62eae37b15c882f0c8064, though it's currently working for me on git master.
Yes, it's wayland. Thought it's interesting, because most of the kwin shortcuts doesn't work, but some of the shortcuts do work - so it's not like all of the global shortcuts stopped working completely. work move mouse to center: meta+f6 mouse to focus: meta+f5 show desk grid: ctrl+f8 toggle present all: alt+tab toggle present current desk/window: ctrl+f9/f7 toggle tiles: meta+t zoom in/out: meta+=/- don't work close window: alt+f4 kill window: ctrl+alt+esc maximize: meta+pgup minimize: meta+pgdn switch to desktop x: ctrl+fx quick tile u+b+l+r: meta+down/up/left/right swithc to window above, bellow, left, right: meta+alt+u/d/l/r toggle invert/on window: meta+ctrl+i/u toggle mouse click effect: meta+* walk through wins/reverse: ctrl+alt+tab/alt+shift+backtab (ok, hold on a minute - backtab?) walk through wins current app/reverse: alt+`/~ window operations menu: alt+f3
Seems like the shortcuts that work all come from scripts and effects, while the broken ones are built into KWin.
If you remove .config/kglobalshortcutsrc and reboot, do kwin shortcuts work? mv ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc ~ reboot
Hm, yes, moving away the old global shortcuts config worked around the issue and all the default shortcuts are now working. It wouldn't be a massive issue for me to leave it as I didn't have that many custom shortcuts anyway, but what could be the cause?
While not answering to question why the config of JonnyRobbie became broken, I will close it, as it works for me. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Graphics Platform: Wayland
