Bug ID: 475574
Summary: [Wayland] Unable to bind keys with keycodes above 255
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.8
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_khotkeys
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sidpranjale...@protonmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Plasma Wayland session doesn't accept keycodes higher than 255 for
keybinds/custom shortcuts.
I'm aware of it being a limitation on x11, but there's no reason it shouldn't
work on wayland: wev, evtest, and showkey can all detect it (xev can't), it has
a keysym, and even is usable for binds in sway and hyprland, though I know
wlroots and kwin are very different.
The key in question is a laptop vendor specific key, equivalent to the
"PredatorSense" key on Acer Predator series, except it's NitroSense because I
have an Acer Nitro. The keysym is XF86Presentation, according to wev.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a keyboard with a non-standard key.
2. Attempt to use it for a custom shortcut.
OBSERVED RESULT
The key does not register.
EXPECTED RESULT
They key registers.
