SUMMARY After updating to Plasma 6.0.1, global shortcuts containing numbers stopped working when pressing the numbers on the numpad. Example: I have configured Switch to desktop <N> with Meta+<N>, now the shortcut works only when I press Meta+Shift+"+" (my keyboard layout is Czech, and to type 1 without the numpad, I have to press Shift and the key above letter Q). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure a Switch to Desktop 1 shortcut using Meta+1. 2. Apply changes. 3. Be on another desktop than 1, and press Meta and 1 on the numpad. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma should switch to Desktop 1. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux with kernel 6.7.8-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION System settings correctly accepts input from the numpad. I can set shortcut Meta+1 by pressing 1 on the numpad, but after saving the shortcut, Plasma will not recognize it, unless I use the key above the letter part and hold Shift at the same time.
Do other keys work for you? For me, global shortcut stopped working entirely with kde 6

This is fixed in Plasma 6 but requires a change that only went into the upcoming Qt 6.3.3 release. Some distros have backported the patch already (I believe Fedora has) but Arch has not.
