Bug ID: 500522
Summary: Shortcuts tool will not bind the control+pause key
pair
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Keyboard Layout widget
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: incan...@gmail.com
CC: butir...@gmail.com, duha.b...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The System Settings interface for editing keyboard shortcuts refuses to create
a shortcut for "cntrl+pause" (and potentially some other Cntrl+ combos as
well?). I have been using this key sequence to force a shutdown on my Windows
machine for years, so not having this available hurts my muscle memory.
When creating the mapping this failure is quite silent and hard to spot, it is
easy to end up remapping <key> alone accidentally because an attempt to map
<cntrl>+<key> has not done what you expected.
Specifically in the case of the cntrl+pause combination, the System Settings UI
will also-
1) Strip the cntrl+pause assignment out of the ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
file if it has been edited in by hand
2) Strip a cntrl+pause assignment out of a custom key configuration file that
is being imported
Note: I may have chosen the wrong "component" for this bug but i can't find an
option for the System Settings app
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Shortcuts
2. Attempt to define a binding to the "Shutdown" or "Power Off" action with the
shortcut cntrl+pause
OBSERVED RESULT
Once the control key is pressed, the UI ignores the pause key, so the action
ends up bound to the control key alone
EXPECTED RESULT
Bind cntrl+pause to power off
