ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
developing for khotkeys is not very hard. So the source code can be played
around with rather easily:
git clone https://invent.kde.org/plasma/khotkeys.git
#install various developer libs in KDE neon such as:
sudo apt install libqt5x11extras5-dev
mkdir buildSubDir
cd buildSubDir
cmake .. # it usually builds smoothly, if all libs are present. look
for missing packages to install via apt or synaptic in error messages. then:
qdbus org.kde.kded5 /kded org.kde.kded5.unloadModule khotkeys # true or
false
...../git/khotkeys/buildSubDir/bin/khotkeys_standalone" & # launch
the homemade khotkeys daemon
kcmshell5 khotkeys & # GUI start
and bang, you run your modified khotkey. to mark your homemade Dämon, change
the line
file:///home/......../git/khotkeys/libkhotkeysprivate/settings.cpp line
485 or thereabouts accordingly:
qDebug() << "Version 2 File! ## My homemade khotkeys daemon is at play
now. This line will be seen in the bash Konsole. ## ";
also, one might want to look into coherently adapt
LANG="en" /usr/bin/khelpcenter help:/kcontrol/khotkeys/index.html
to launch english khotkeys, use this:
LANG="en" kcmshell5 khotkeys
LANG="en" systemsettings5 # or find it via system settings.
