Created attachment 171633 [details] Keyboard switching not working in lockscreen *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** SUMMARY The keyboard switching shortcuts do not behave as expected in the lockscreen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure (at least) two keyboard layouts (I tested with exactly two) 2. Lock the screen 3. Try to switch layouts with Meta+Alt+K or Meta+Alt+L OBSERVED RESULT On X11, the Meta+Alt+K shortcut refuses to change the layout; it just shows a popup of the current layout. Meta+Alt+L works but only after using Meta+Alt+K, and moreover using it still enters characters into the password field. On Wayland, Meta+Alt+K works as normal, but Meta+Alt+L doesn't work at all it just presses the L key. EXPECTED RESULT The layouts switch normally, just as if the screen is unlocked SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20240711 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thank you for reporting this bug. It looks like a duplicate of Bug 488268 Keyboard layout can't be changed via its Alternative global shortcut, so I'm linking this to that one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 488268 ***

Though that bug has no information on the "Last Used" shortcut, so I'll add it there.
