screenshot of nuisance shortcuts
SUMMARY
After a recent upgrade to Plasma 6, a number of Shortcuts in the
Keyboard->Shortcuts menu from old WINE applications appear, and my
user-configured shortcuts no longer persist after reboots. I cannot remove the
unwanted WINE shortcuts, even after aggressive scrubbing of various leftover
WINE files. Pressing the "remove"/trash button within the UI itself appears to
precipitate the removal of user-configured shortcuts.
I believe https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477188 may be related, although
it should long have been fixed in this version (and still doesn't mention the
issue of disappearing user shortcuts.)
I also posted on the KDE Discuss forums with no replies:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/keyboard-shortcuts-not-persistent-over-reboots-polluted-with-old-applications/13139
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I was unable to reproduce the issue on my laptop, which has a nearly identical
configuration of software, but a far shorter heritage of collected ~/.config
and ~/.local cruft. Rebooting and/or logging out, especially after attempting
to remove shortcuts with the "X" button, appears to cause some or all of my
user-configured shortcuts to be removed and reset (for example, Ctrl+Alt+T to
open Konsole). The shortcuts persist just fine during a session.
I believe the issue is related to a corrupt, incorrect, or invalid
configuration file, likely due to a botched migration from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6
due to the shortcuts overhaul. I attempted to dig through the source and
identify any relevant configuration files, but (after deleting a few and
digging through others) can't find where these shortcuts are coming from.
OBSERVED RESULT
A number of nuisance WINE shortcuts appear, and while they can be removed with
the "Trash" button, they re-appear with every new session.
User-created global shortcuts occasionally disappear across reboots/sessions.
Not all of them disappear at once; for example, my Konsole config was wiped,
but my Spectacle configuration was retained. This may be related to attempts to
trash the shortcuts themselves.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally, the nuisance links to nonexistence WINE shortcuts should be cleaned up
/not displayed, or at least the delete button should work. User configured
global shortcuts should persist after a reboot.
