Bug ID: 434251
Summary: Custom shortcut not sending key input included in
trigger
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.21.2
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_khotkeys
Assignee: k...@michael-jansen.biz
Reporter: layne.fow...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The first instance of the trigger hotkey is being skipped in the text output.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings -> Custom Shortcuts -> Edit -> New -> Global Shortcut
-> Send Keyboard Input
2. Set the trigger to be Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T
3. Set the action to be "t:e:s:t" without the quotes
4. Apply the changes
5. Test shortcut in a text editor
OBSERVED RESULT
Output in to text editor is "est".
EXPECTED RESULT
Output in to text editor is "test".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.9.16-1-MANJARO
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Changing the action to "t:t:e:s:t" gives me "test". If I just change the
shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S then the input text is "tet". It seems like it is
dropping the first occurrence of the key used in the trigger.
I previously had a few shortcuts set up that worked fine. It was sometime in
the past few weeks that the behavior changed to the current.
Overall the custom shortcuts feel inconsistent. I use a shortcut to output my
email address. There are many fields on different websites that miss the first
few characters of the output. Releasing the hotkeys fast enough can sometimes
cause the output to be incorrect. This is probably beyond the scope of this
issue but I thought I'd mention it.
