Bug ID: 485235
Summary: Shortcuts for systemmonitor ("Show System Activity")
and plasma-systemmonitor are missing
Classification: Applications
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: myndstr...@protonmail.ch
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On one of the machines I upgraded to Debian12 from Deb11/KDE the Default
shortcut Ctrl+Esc for "Show System Activity" in "KDE Daemon" under Shortcuts is
disabled but not on the other. This meant that the process manager didn't show
anymore when pressing ctrl+esc after upgrading which can be quite annoyance to
users and seems like a problem that is easy to solve: just make sure that
shortcut doesn't get disabled. Note that Ctrl+Esc is also set as a shortcut
under File->Close. I don't know why it was disabled. It could also be enabled
whenever plasma-systemmonitor / systemmonitor gets installed. That this is hard
to find under "KDE Daemon" where most users wouldn't expect this entry makes it
an even bigger problem but the shortcuts should be working by default without
requiring any configuration in general anyway.
In addition, the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be set for opening
plasma-systemmonitor; currently this has to be configured under Custom
Shortcuts.
Third (and I think all of these are different aspects of the same issue), under
System Settings->Background Services there still is an entry "KSysguard" which
says "Launches KSysguard on Ctrl+Escape". However, KSysguard doesn't exist
anymore in the KDE version of Debian12 (see below) and that shortcut doesn't
work. Even when it is running or when stopping and restarting the service the
shortcut doesn't work except if it is configured manually in the shortcuts (see
above) so this entry seems redundant. I think this issue could also be split
into three but as said I think it's just different aspects of the
systemmonitor-shortcuts-issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade to Debian12 from Deb11/KDE
OBSERVED RESULT
Ctrl+Esc doesn't work anymore (and even if "KSysguard" under Background
Services" is running)
Ctrl+Shift+Esc also doesn't work since Ksysguard was replaced by
plasma-systemmonitor and the shortcut still needs to be configured manually
EXPECTED RESULT
Like on other operating systems like Windows as well as prior versions, the
well-known shortcuts for showing processes which are very important to all
users should be working by default for all users.
