Bug ID: 432438
Summary: Custom shortcut for keyboard input no longer works
after updating to 5.21 beta
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: jkcdarun...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The global shortcut for keyboard input no longer works after updating to 5.21
beta. This is currently important to me as the backtick is bound to Yakuake.
However, from my observation this not only affects backtick and is a more
general issue as creating a shortcut to type hello when pressing Ctrl + Shift +
T does not work as well.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts
2. Create a new Keyboard Input shortcut (Edit > New > Global Shortcuts > Send
Keyboard Input) and name it Backtick
3. Go to trigger and set trigger to Meta + ` (backtick)
4. Set action to type in a backtick (`)
5. Press apply
6. On any window (QT and non-QT), press Meta + `
OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing Meta + ` does not insert a backtick
EXPECTED RESULT
Pressing Meta + ` should insert a backtick

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This does not seem to be specific to backtick as creating a shortcut to type
hello when pressing Ctrl + Shift + T did not work as well.
