khotkeys crash and bugs when assigning shortcut to "send keyboard input"
these multiple bugs might be related?
steps to recreate; all in program: "custom shortcuts" (kcmshell5 khotkeys)
bug1:
1. create a new group
2. select / highlight the new group
3. create a new item: "new" > "global shortcut" > "send keyboard input"
4. the program crash.
bug2:
1. create a new global hortcut outside any group
2. crashes.
bug 3:
1. next, I run "custom shortcuts" again
2. drag the new orphand items (i.e. not inside a group) into a group.
3. press OK
4. run "custom shortcuts" again
5. the items are still outside the group
bug 4:
1. define new, or reset created "keyboard action":
2. assign a shortcut key (I tried Meta+M, Meta+W, alt+ctrl+N)
3. assign a keyboard action (i.e. any string)
4. press Apply / Ok
5. the keyboard input is not sent
6. when I press the shortcut, I see a brief flicker in the whole GUI/screen.
7. the settings appears in ~/.config/khotkeysrc , and seems "in order".
bug 5: non-ascii
1. install xdotool
2. in "custom shortcuts" create a "new > global shortcut > action / url"
3. assign a shortcut to "xdotool type ascii-text" --> works
4. assign a shortcut to "xdotool type ₪" --> throws garbage keyboard event
Comments:
- this xdotool command works, with unicode, from the console, but not when set
in "khotkey".
- this xdotool appears in ~/.config/khotkeysrc as CommandURL=xdotool type
$'\\u20AA'
- I never edited manually ~/.config/khotkeysrc
- plasmashell --version 5.18.5
- kubuntu 20.04
- all updates applied.
- bug probably existed also on ubuntu 16 + kde.
- khotkeys/focal,now 4:5.18.4.1-0ubuntu1 amd64
- assigning and reassigning keys: the results are inconsistent. i.e. the
outcome of pressing the shortcut keys send different keys each time (just not
the keys I intended)
