SUMMARY Creating a global shortcut with a certain keyboard layout may determine if it'll actually activate if you hit the same keys, but with a different keyboard layout. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get Ukrainian and English US keyboard layouts 2. Switch to Ukrainian layout 3. Go to shortcut settings of Plasma and add a custom keyboard shortcut, let's say Meta+S. It will display Meta+I 4. Switch to English US and try to activate this keyboard shortcut OBSERVED RESULT The shortcut created on Ukrainian keyboard layout won't trigger if current layout is English EXPECTED RESULT Global shortcut shouldn't be dependend on keyboard layouts SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This may be an intentionall behaviour, but imo it's pretty weird if it is. I would understand if it was persistent, but for example Meta+S with English layout will trigger on Ukrainian layout, but not the other way around. But for example Meta+` seems to be fully tied to keyboard layout, so I have to create one shortcut on Ukrainian and one on English for it to always work.
Hi - I believe this issue falls under an overarching issue around how to handle hotkey/shortcut assignments when multiple keyboard layouts are involved, so I'm linking this into the Bugzilla ticket with the most context and activity (including references to upstream Qt work). Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 453661 ***
