Description qlum 2023-12-23 12:57:16 UTC 
When trying to use a previously made keybinding to the calculator key it no longer, nor will an input be registered when trying to make a new shortcut using the calculator key.
By default, this key is bound to opening kcalc, this also does not work. 


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.91
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.257.0 
Qt Version: 6.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is a similar issue about f24 not working, this has been the case for longer. The calculator button worked as intended in plasma 5.27.
I tested this on 3 machines, one with plasma 5.27 and 2 on plasma 6 beta 2. On 2 different keyboards.

Comment 3 Steven Eastland 2024-01-02 09:15:52 UTC 
As I mentioned in the bug I filed that was marked as a duplicate of this one, my calculator key works in an X11 session, but not in a Wayland session.
Comment 4 fanzhuyifan 2024-01-12 00:47:50 UTC 
I cannot assign the calculator key to shortcuts on either X11 or wayland. On x11 when I press it kcalc shows up, but does not on wayland.
Comment 5 fanzhuyifan 2024-01-30 17:46:19 UTC 
The problem seems to be `QXkbCommon::keysymToQtKey` returning 0 when keysym is `0x1008FF1D` (this is called in `Xkb::toQtKey` in kwin/src/xkb.cpp)
Comment 6 fanzhuyifan 2024-01-30 18:10:55 UTC 
In my setup, the problem is caused by XkbCommon::keysymToQtKey mapping XF86XK_Calculater but not XF86XK_Calculator, which are different keys. Should I try to upstream a patch to Qt?

The Qt patch should be included in the upcoming Qt 6.6.3, and Qt 6.7. The remaining problems on KDE's side should be fixed by the MRs mentioned above.

On our end, the plasma 6 mega-release. On Qt's end, the upcoming 6.6.3 and 6.7. The Qt patch was not included in 6.6.2.

Testing it again on plasma 6.0.1 and qt 6.7 I can confirm that I can bind the calculator key again.
However, I do need to manually set the binding again, as the old binding will remain non-functional.

Plasma 6.0.1, Qt 6.7.7-1 on openSUSE Tumbleweed/X11 here, still doesn't work for the calculator key of my Ducky One keyboard.

I don't think currently there is Qt 6.7.7 -- Qt 6.7 is still in rc1.
