Bug ID: 441674
Summary: KDE custom hotkeys dropping letters used in trigger
keys
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: joe.atta...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY: When creating a custom hotkey shortcut in Settings to send a text
string, if a letter is used in the trigger keys, and the string contains that
letter, the first instance of the letter is dropped when the string is sent.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Custom shortcuts -> Edit -> New -> Global Shortcut - Send Keyboard Input
2. Create a key trigger containing a letter. Example - Alt-Shift-F
3. In Action panel, build a string to send with the keystroke. Example:
Shift+f:o:o:Shift+b:a:r:Enter to send "foobar" and a return
4. Execute the trigger in any window (example, Kate)
5. The trigger sends: ooBar
6. Only the first instance of the letter is dropped. Change the build to
Shift+f:o:o:Shift+f:a:r:Enter
7. The trigger sends: ooFar
8. The use of the Shift is not consequential. This occurs on upper and lower
case letters.
OBSERVED RESULT
Alt-Shift-F (Shift+f:o:o:Shift+b:a:r:Enter) sends
ooBar
EXPECTED RESULT
FooBar

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Just want to mention that this process has worked as expected to many past
versions. This appears to have been introduced only very recently. The previous
version of KDE I used was in Netrunner Twenty (20.01). This issue appeared in
their next version (xoxo - 21.01) and is in the current version of Kubunto,
which I'm currently using.

keyboards.
