--- Comment #1 from Oussema Bouaneni <the.neophytes.l...@gmail.com> --- I was able to reproduce this issue. After a little bit of testing, here's what I can say: - This issue is unrelated to Yakuake. It can be reproduced by setting "`" as a global shortcut. The same thing happens if I set "`" to be Dolphin's or Okular's global shortcut for instance. - The key binding has to be "`" alone. "Meta+`" and "Ctrl+`" both work fine and don't cause any issues. - The key that stops working isn't necessarily "4". For me it's both the "u" and "7" keys. - When I switch to the AZERTY keyboard layout, the "è" character, which uses the same physical key as "7" in QWERTY is the one that I can no longer input. And when I switch to Arabic, the "ع" character, which uses the same physical key as "u" in QWERTY is the one that stops working. So in short, changing the keyboard layout doesn't seem to have an effect. - Switching the keyboard model in the "Input Devices" section of the settings doesn't seem to change much. I have tried three models so far: "Generic | Generic 86-key PC", "Generic | Generic 105-key PC" and "Dell | Dell 101-key PC" and this bug exists on all three. - Trying to type the characters "7" and "u" with a khotkeys custom shortcut to send "u" as keyboard input or trying to use "xdotool key 7" both don't work. - I tried using Screenkey, which is a screencast tool to display pressed keys on the screen. It showed "u" and "7" even though nothing was being typed. It is the same with xinput. After using "xinput list" to find the id of my keyboard, I used "xinput test #ID" to monitor key presses on the keyboard. It was able to detect when each key was pressed and released. Here's a sample of the output before enabling "`" as a global shortcut: key press 16 7key release 16 key press 30 ukey release 30 You can see clearly that the "7" and "u" keys were inputted correctly. And here's a sample of the output after enabling "`" as a global shortcut: key press 16 key release 16 key press 30 key release 30 System information: khotkeys version: khotkeys 5.18.5-1 (plasma) Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.7.0-3-MANJARO OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz Memory: 3,8 GiB of RAM This is my first time trying to contribute to the KDE community. I hope this helps someone more experienced than me figure out the root cause of this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
