SUMMARY *** When renaming a file or folder, the keyboard's delete key doesn't work. This seems to be related to the global shortcut for "Move to Trash" in the System Settings. As long the default of "Del" is selected, it works. If it is unchecked, the delete key is ignored while renaming files. Assigning custom shortcuts has no effect either way. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. Go to Workspace -> Shortcuts 3. Go to Common Actions -> File -> Move to Trash 4. Uncheck the default shortcut "Del" 5. Open Dolphin 6. Select a file or folder 7. Press F2 or select "Rename" from the context menu 8. Press the Delete key OBSERVED RESULT The input is ignored EXPECTED RESULT The selected text should be deleted, or if nothing was selected, the character to the right of the cursor should be deleted. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.0-7-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changing the shortcuts in Dolphin instead of globally doesn't have the same effect.
I can also reproduce this in Plasma 5.27.5 with Dolphin 23.04.0 and I got the same behavior the reporter encountered. This issue also appears to only affect Dolphin as I couldn't reproduce the problem in other programs.
Can reproduce using the exact same steps as reported.

This is a special case of 429403, where the original shortcut is removed but no custom shortcut is assigned. This also leads to the delete key not working in the text field of many apps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 429403 ***
