Bug ID: 461207
Summary: Assigning Window shortcut key cannot include "meta"
key (the "Windows" key) or it will be modified to some
weird key
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.6
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input

SUMMARY
On Kubuntu 22.04LTS, whenever I assign a window shortcut key including the
"Meta" key (the left "Windows" key), for example, "Meta+D" it will be
immediately converted to a weird sequence "ៀ?" which is not a valid shortcut
key. This *only* happens on Kubuntu 22.04LTS, not on 20.04 or 18.04.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any window say an xterm, on Kubuntu 22.04 LTS
2. Right click on the title bar of xterm, move down to "More Actions" -> "Set
Window Shortcut"
3. In the dialog box enters whatever key combination containing the "Meta" key
(more exactly the left "Windows" key), say, "Meta+D" (Win+D)
OBSERVED RESULT
After the key combination is typed in the above dialog box, inn the beginning
it will correctly show "Meta+D" but 1 second later it will be converted to the
text "ៀ?". If we try "Meta+Alt+D" it will become "Alt+ៀ?". After we closed the
dialog, that key combination has no effect at all.
After examine the xmodmap I found the following 3 keys initially are:
keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L Alt_L Meta_L
keycode 108 = Alt_R Meta_R Alt_R Meta_R
keycode 133 = Super_L NoSymbol Super_L
I need to change them to the following to fix this issue.
keycode 64 = Alt_L Alt_L Alt_L Alt_L
keycode 108 = Alt_R Alt_R Alt_R Alt_R
keycode 133 = Meta_L Meta_L Meta_L
EXPECTED RESULT
It supposed to keep what we typed in instead of modifying it into "ៀ?"
If I load the modified xmodkey as above, the this won't happen and the key
combination works well as before (Kubuntu 20.04LTS).
