Bug ID: 463888
Summary: output of commands assigned to custom shortcuts is
written to syslog/journal with identifier kded5
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.kde....@derflupp.e4ward.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
When a command is assigned a shortcut via System Setting / Shortcuts / Custom
Shortcuts, the output of the command (stdout as well as stderr) is written to
the syslog/journal with the identifier “kded5” when the shortcut is pressed.
This behavior might be unexpected and therefore might lead to a spammed journal
or confidential information ending up in the journal.
(In my case I bound a script dealing with the clipboard to a hotkey. For
debugging purposes (when not used via hotkey), the script prints the clipboard
contents before processing. When accidentally pressing the hotkey with
confidential clipboard contents, this unintentionally ends up in the journal.)

PS: I was rather unsure about the correct product/component. Feel free to move.
