Bug ID: 500967
Summary: Feature Request: Disable keyboard shortcuts
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ins...@no.capfr.fr
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently custom keyboard shortcuts either exist and are active or they don't
exist and are inactive.
This is incredibly inconvenient on wayland, because custom keyboard shortcuts
intercept the keycode and don't propagate it to the currently active
application.
Example: I have F10 as a custom keyboard shortcut for OBS to start recording
using the OBS webhook because wayland is super secure and very good. Turns out
I'm not wanting to record anything and I have OBS closed but want to use the
F10 key to toggle some functionality in the Moonlight software, but oops: The
global shortcut for F10 is still active so instead of sending the keycode for
F10 to Moonlight KDE goes and starts my OBS record script, which does nothing
because OBS is not running, but now I can't toggle the function in Moonlight
that I wanted.
To "disable" the keycode override I now have to delete the entire shortcut. And
if I need the shortcut again at a later date I have to recreate it from scratch
(or I have to keep a .txt file with a list of all shortcuts so that I can
create them again).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a custom keyboard shortcut
2. Observe that it stops the keycode from being sent to the focussed
application
3. Try to disable the shortcut with a checkbox in the settings menu
4. Observe that there is no disable/enable checkbox
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no way to disable custom keyboard shortcuts without deleting them or
removing the bound key
EXPECTED RESULT
In my opinion there should be a way to disable specific custom keyboard
shortcuts without deleting them or removing the bound key.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.13.3-273-tkg-bore
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sorry for the wall of text. Wayland is incredibly frustrating when xorg is not
an option.
Much love
