SUMMARY After switching to plasma 6.x my shortcuts for applications are no longer working. I have the following shortcuts defined in System settings / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Custom Shortcuts Service Firefox -> Meta+F1 Konsole -> Meta+F2 and some more. I tried with Wayland and X11 sessions. I tried another keyboard to the same effect. It worked in Plasma 5.x. for example: The shortcut is defined in the GUI Firefox -> Meta+F1 When pressing Meta+F1 nothing happens Is this broken or is the Custom Shortcuts Service no longer supported with Plasma 6.x? The Icon is somehow suspiciously generic. If so, the settings should be removed from "Settings". How is this supposed to work in Plasma 6.x? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Define the shortcut Firefox -> Meta+F1 in Custom Shortcuts Service 2. Press Meta+F1 OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. Opening Konsole and pressing Meta+F1 shows "P" Meta+F2 shows "Q" Meta+F2 shows "R" as the resulting "key". EXPECTED RESULT When pressing Meta+F1 "Firefox" is started.

I couldn't repro the issue in Plasma 6.2 1. Open shortcuts settings 2. Add new 3. Application 4. Firefox 5. Give it a shortcut Custom shortcuts service is not a thing anymore AFAIK, so it might be that the old shortcuts were not properly upgraded to new system, or something else went wrong. That itself is a bug, but I have no means to test that currently.

Thanks for the quick reply. I really appreciate this! (In reply to Akseli Lahtinen from comment #1) > I couldn't repro the issue in Plasma 6.2 > > 1. Open shortcuts settings > 2. Add new > 3. Application > 4. Firefox > 5. Give it a shortcut Did this now, works like a charm. So it seems the old shortcuts were the problem not shortcuts per se. > Custom shortcuts service is not a thing anymore AFAIK, so it might be that > the old shortcuts were not properly upgraded to new system, or something > else went wrong.

There is also another suspicious entry "plasmawindowed". These are probably Plasma 5.x artifacts which are no longer used and do not work anymore. I found them in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc At least the keys are reset if (Konsole here is set to "none, none") when assigning an Application shortcut with the same keys, so Plasma 6.x seems a least to know about them. Dunno why they do not work at all.

Thanks for the config snippets, those should help with creating test entries for the upgrade system!
Just for your information. The section "Custom Shortcuts Service" is also shown on my Laptop running KDE Neon.

We did remove the Custom Shortcuts page from System Settings. if you're still seeing it, I think this is likely going to be a packaging/deployment bug of some sort. > How is this supposed to work in Plasma 6.x? IIRC there was supposed to be some kind of automatic upgrade, but it was always going to be imperfect due to the diversity of what the removed Custom Shortcuts service offered.
Created attachment 174740 [details] Settings page of the "Custom Shortcuts Service" Just to be sure we talk about the same kind of "Settings page". A screenshot.
So yeah, let's get on the same page: that is not the "Custom Shortcuts" service, that is just the "Shortcuts" Service. The thing labeled "Custom Shortcuts" was deleted in Plasma 6.0.0.
Hi, I had a 'Custom Shortcuts Service' entry in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > System Services and I upgraded from Plasma 5 to 6 as part of a Kubuntu upgrade. Based on this bug report I've just deleted Custom Shortcuts Service because I hope it resolves a shortcut issue I'm having (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497507) where some shortcuts do not work after a reboot.
