SUMMARY When running KDE under wayland the media keys don't work. They don't control the current media and going to the shortcut editor it doesn't see the media combo being pressed. Changing the session to x11 fixes the issue and media can be controller with the media keys. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login with an Wayland session. 2. Try to control the media with media control buttons. (it doesn't work) 3. Logout and login with an X11 session 4. Try to control the media with media control buttons. (it works) OBSERVED RESULT Wayland ignores the buttons completely. EXPECTED RESULT The media control buttons work. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux kinoite 6.2.13-300.fc38.x86_64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9
What kind of keyboard are you using? Are you saying that all input from these keys is ignored by everything in the Plasma Wayland session?
The model specifically is Redragon Kumara K552 / a desktop keyboard. Yes all of the keyboard inputs for media controls buttons are ignored while under the Plasma Wayland session. I also tried to run `showkey -a` and I don't get a response at all when I try to use the media keys (which are a combination of FN + F5-F8). Actually, now when I tried the other keys, it's not only the media ones which aren't working but actually every key which has an additional action when holding down FN, so everything from F1 to F12.
After jumping to an X11 session `showkey -a` doesn't show anything as well when using alternative buttons. But to expand the info about the issue I'm having: as an example, KCalc start when I press FN+F11 while under X11 but not while under Wayland, on top of the issue which I'm having under wayland.

I was originally running fedora kinoite with Nvidia drivers and after switching to ublue nvidia builds for kinoite the issue is no longer happening. Probably safe to assume that it has something to do with Nvidia indirectly.
