Summary: Keyboard Shortcut Import/Export fails with custom
commands
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux

Severity: major

SUMMARY
Currently, import/export of KDE Shortcuts in Plasma 6 is broken when you have
custom command keyboard shortcuts. I've tried a few different approaches, and
have never been able to get import/export to work.
Please see below for a minimal setup to reproduce, which currently uses a bash
script which allows me to give a single argument and in turn triggers the
correct response (allowing me to update keystroke effect without messing with
KDE shortcuts. But this reproduces with any bash I've tried.
Also note that on the same systems, Importing and Exporting non-custom commands
(e.g. kwin commands, etc) works fine on the same systems, provided that Custom
Command shortcuts are not included in the export.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a series of shortcuts using '+ Add New' which each has the below
format:
Command: ~/Documents/bin/keylaunch a
Name: a
Custom Shortcut: Meta+Ctrl+Alt+A
Command: ~/Documents/bin/keylaunch b
Name: b
Custom Shortcut: Meta+Ctrl+Alt+B
(and so on, my current setup has keybinds for _ @ % + 1 A B C D E F G N P Q R S
T W X)
2. Select 'Export...', then select 'Commands' select all checkbox
3. Save to a file
4. Open a new install of KDE
5. Open Shortcuts
6. 'Import...' that file
EXPECTED RESULT
The Commands in the new install will replicate the entries made above
OBSERVED RESULT
The process fails. This often fails with a 'Lost Contact with Global Shortcuts
Service' (or similar, sorry, I've forgotten the wording). Generally speaking,
5-6 of the shortcuts will be created, but often with inconsistences (e.g. wrong
shortcut keystroke, or duplicate entries. Generally speaking, the Shortcuts
window ends up in a strange and fragile state until login, with failures as new
custom commands are created.
