Clipboard Hotkey Settings
## Bug Description
There is an inconsistency between the shortcut displayed in the GUI and the
actual working shortcut for the clipboard functionality "Show clipboard items
at mouse position" in KDE Plasma.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Open Clipboard Settings
2. Navigate to Shortcuts > Action-Settings
3. Observe that the shortcut for "Show clipboard items at mouse position" is
displayed as "Ctrl+Ö"
4. Try using Ctrl+Ö - it does not work
5. Try using Meta+V - it works despite not being shown in the GUI
## Expected Behavior
The shortcut displayed in the GUI should match the actual working shortcut. If
Ctrl+Ö is displayed, pressing Ctrl+Ö should trigger the clipboard
functionality.
## Actual Behavior
Despite the GUI showing "Ctrl+Ö" as the configured shortcut, this key
combination does not work. Instead, Meta+V works, which is not shown anywhere
in the GUI settings.
## Technical Details
When examining the configuration file:
```
grep -A 3 "show-on-mouse-pos" ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
show-on-mouse-pos=Meta+V,Meta+V,Elemente der Zwischenablage an Mausposition
anzeigen
```
This confirms that Meta+V is the actual configured shortcut in the system,
contradicting what is shown in the GUI settings.
## Environment
- KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
- KDE Frameworks Version: ?
- Qt Version: QMake version 3.1
- Operating System: CachyOS
- Kernel Version: 6.13.7-3-cachyos
## Additional Information
- This inconsistency persists after system restart
- The issue might be related to how shortcut configurations are saved and
displayed, especially with special characters like 'Ö' in different keyboard
layouts
## Possible Impact
This inconsistency leads to confusion for users who try to use the shortcuts as
shown in the GUI. It also makes it difficult to properly configure custom
shortcuts since the system is not displaying what is actually configured.
