I'm not sure what you mean because this is a feature regression, not a feature request. It was possible to assign these shortcuts before from the systemsettings shortcuts menu, I know because I only found out that these shortcuts are possible because I stumbled across it in that very menu. I originally noticed the behaviour when I pressed and let-off shift accidentally when I was trying to make another shortcut and I noticed that the interface didn't show the shortcut as fully assigned yet. I've never used any third party software to make shortcuts and I didn't even know that the kglobalshortcutsrc file existed before I researched it while making this bug report so that I could have a reproducible example. I had one of these shortcuts already assigned even though I've never touched any way of adding shortcuts outside of the systemsettings menu, so even if I didn't remember first discovering the behaviour I literally couldn't have assigned my pre-existing sequential shortcut if it weren't possible in the system settings menu. If it would take such deep changes to do what you're talking about, then it has to be something else because what I'm describing was already a feature less than a year ago. If I knew the exact version I was on I'd give it for reference, but I *think* it was shortly after updating to KDE plasma 6 for whatever that's worth. (especially when it comes to things like this my memory has about three states, "yesterday", "a week ago" and "longer than a week ago") Eitherway I know for a fact that it was possible because I literally could not have the shortcut I have if it weren't since I didn't even know how to assign shortcuts anyway other than the system settings menu and I've had this shortcut for a while now. If what you're talking about would require such deep-cutting changes then it must be something else because I can say with absolute certainty this was a thing that was implemented and functional fairly recently. It sounds like you're talking about a similar but decidedely different issue, but what I'm referring to is just the ability to assign sequential shortcuts in the KDE system settings "shortcuts" submenu and I can say with absolute certainty it worked recently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
