Description Tyson Tan 2026-02-10 08:44:30 UTC 
When testing Krita 5.3.0-beta1, I encountered multiple occasions when the shortcuts completely stop working. I tried to restart the app, resetting shortcut settings to default, but they didn't work. 

Meanwhile, the shortcuts worked flawlessly in Krita 5.2.15/5.4.0/6.0.0/6.1.0 nightlies.

After swapping between different versions of Krita for a while, the problem went away. Looks like a configuration issue to me. I was unable to reproduce it since. But I think I should report this just in case.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1

Hi, Tyson!

Was it an AppImage version of the one provided by Manjaro?
Comment 2 Tyson Tan 2026-02-13 01:03:07 UTC 
Yes, I don't modify my system much. 
libappimage 1.0.4.5-11 (built on 2025-10-16)
Comment 3 Dmitry Kazakov 2026-02-13 09:38:45 UTC 
Well, I mean Krita itself, did you run it via an AppImage package or via the system packages?
Comment 4 Tyson Tan 2026-02-13 09:53:26 UTC 
I ran krita-5.3.0-beta1-x86_64.appimage by double clicking it. Other versions I mentioned above are also appimages from Krita's nightly repository. 

I heard that Krita Appimages are packaged with libraries of safe versions to prevent problem. And the Arch/Manjaro Krita distro packages did gave me trouble, so I don't use Krita binaries packaged by distros these days.
Comment 5 Tyson Tan 2026-02-13 09:56:24 UTC 
Just a reminder: Distros don't usually provide beta builds for applications. The only official beta packages I know of is the Linux Kernel RC builds.
Comment 6 Tyson Tan 2026-02-13 10:02:11 UTC 
And to my knowledge, no distro, certainly not Manjaro, ever distributed application using Appimage.
