Bug ID: 497577
Summary: Global hotkeys are depended on keyboard language
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: vse.stopchans...@gmail.com
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
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.
