Description Rafael Linux User 2023-12-15 09:19:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since 3 or 4 months, I can no longer use the "Pause" key as a shortcut to execute actions from the keyboard in Plasma. Neither in X.org nor in Wayland. I always used to use the key combination "Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Pause" to pause/resume playback in a multimedia application. However, it is no longer possible to use that combination or any other combination that includes the "Pause" key. It is simply ignored.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "System preferences, Shortcuts" 
2. Select any application and click on any item in right panel
3. Click on "Add personalized shortcut"
4. Key "Pause" key, or "Alt + Pause" key o any combination with "Pause" key

OBSERVED RESULT
"Pause" key is ignored

EXPECTED RESULT
To accept "Pause" key to be assigned for shortcut (as always worked)
