Bug ID: 500597
Summary: A shortcut trigger of "ctrl+r" can be assigned but
does not work
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Keyboard Layout widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: incan...@gmail.com
CC: butir...@gmail.com, duha.b...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I wanted to assign a shortcut to trigger a restart of plasmashell. I wasted
some time trying to understand why the command lines (which work correctly in a
shell) were not working, until I realised the problem was the trigger sequence.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Command type shortcut, containing any of the following command
lines-
systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell
kquitapp6 plasmashell; kstart plasmashell
plasmashell --replace
2. Assign the trigger sequence of ctrl+r ("r" for restart), and apply
3. The shortcut is ignored ctrl+r does nothing. There are no errors either when
defining the shortcut, or when typing the key sequence
4. Edit the trigger sequence to ctrl+p
5. The shortcut now works as expected?!
OBSERVED RESULT
Ctrl+R does not work as a shortcut trigger. The system will happily assign this
as a trigger, but it does nothing.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally, the shortcut editor should only allow triggers to be defined that will
work, If a trigger is not allowed for some reason, a meaningful error message
should be shown.
The next best option would be for whatever subsystem is rejecting or swallowing
the ctrl+r sequence to provide a notification to the user along the lines of
"key sequence disallowed because..."
