Bug ID: 503440
Summary: UI to set keyboard shortcut for the Notifications
widget
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: xalt7x.serv...@gmail.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Some people prefer to have the "Notifications" widget separate from the System
Tray.
It's possible to disable respective "System Tray" and add widget. However,
currently only System Tray exposes UI option to set keyboard shortcut that can
activate/open "Notifications" panel. Thanks to the tip of Christoph Wolk (cwo)
at KDE forum [1], I've figured that it's possible to set shortcut for the
"Notifications" widget in the config file:
1. Add "Notifications" widget to the panel
2. Open ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
3. Find appropriate section that mentions widget. For example:
[Containments][2][Applets][48]
plugin=org.kde.plasma.notifications
4. Add new section and set keyboard shortcut there. For example
[Containments][2][Applets][48][Shortcuts]
global=Meta+Alt+C
5. Reload plasmashell using KRunner or Konsole
kquitapp5 plasmashell && plasmashell &
6. Now you can find previously set shortcut on the
System Settings > Shortcuts > Activate Notification Widget
(it wasn't there before)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add "Notifications" widget to the panel
2. Right click on it and select "Configure Event Notifications and Actions"
action
3. "Notification" section of System Settings opens
OBSERVED RESULT
For obvious reason KCM doesn't provide an option to set keyboard shortcut to
activate widget
EXPECTED RESULT
Keyboard shortcut to activate widget is possible to add from the UI
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I dug a little bit in commits and found that required option was removed in
Plasma 5.22 in favour of action to open KCM directly [2] just like previously
was done with some other applets (Bluetooth, Network connections). I also have
no reason to move many applets from the System Tray, but sometimes I need to
glance at some that dynamically change (like Keyboard Layout and Notifications)
and for me it's easier to keep them separate in the panel and activate with
keyboard shortcuts.
