Bug ID: 510137
Summary: Cannot assign working shortcut for Notifications
widget via System Settings, only via System Tray
config (duplicate entries created)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Notifications
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings → Shortcuts.
2. Assign a global shortcut (e.g. Meta+N) to Activate Notifications Widget.
3. Try pressing the shortcut.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The shortcut does nothing.
2. In ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc, the entry looks like:
```activate widget 17=Meta+N,none,Activate Notifications Widget```
3. If instead you go to Edit Mode → hover over System Tray → Configure →
Entries tab and set the shortcut there, it works correctly.
4. This creates a new entry in kglobalshortcutsrc with a different widget ID:
```activate widget 47=Meta+N,none,Activate Notifications Widget```
5. After that, System Settings shows two "Activate Notifications Widget"
entries:
- One with no shortcut (old, dead entry).
- One with the actual shortcut that works.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Assigning a shortcut in System Settings → Shortcuts for Activate
Notifications Widget should work immediately.
2. Plasma should not create duplicate “Activate Notifications Widget” entries
with different widget IDs.
3. Old/broken IDs should be cleaned up or updated automatically.
