SUMMARY
Hello,

The combination Alt_L + eacute (azerty shortcut) isn't working, it act as if it
was already used for something else, but I couldn't find anything about it, and
got advised to file a bug report.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a french azerty keyboard layout
2. Use the shortcut Alt_L + é (eacute) which is 2 on a qwerty layout


OBSERVED RESULT
The shortcut get catch by something and can't be used.

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect the shortcut to be recognized.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     fr
variant:    azerty
options:    terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

xev output of the combination: https://pastebin.com/vYYxYqqK

I tried to simulate the shorcut and view the logs via
xdotool keydown "Alt_L"; xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"; xdotool keydown
"eacute"; xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"; xdotool keyup "eacute" keyup "Alt_L"
and got this logs : https://pastebin.com/VKtdM8g0

The interesting part seems to be

(II) End list of active device grabs

I then tried to kill kglobalaccel5 and my key combination was working again,
but it seems that another process is calling it to access the global shortcut.
