Description Cosmin Tanczel 2024-02-16 08:02:02 UTC
SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use custom shortcut to create a string to send to an app
2. New - Global Shortcut-Send keyboard input
3. Add the text using the suggested format, eg: openSUSE (o:p:e:n:SHIFT+S:SHIFT+U:SHIFT+S:SHIFT+E)
4. Set a trigger: Meta+Shift+P

OBSERVED RESULT
The result of the sent string is : oenSUSE ( note the missing p )

EXPECTED RESULT
The result of the sent string should be : openSUSE

macOS:

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
