Bug ID: 491559
Summary: Custom shortcut list shows commands instead of names,
making it difficult to read
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Other

Created attachment 172496

Multiple similar commands defined but not discernible.
SUMMARY
Creating a custom keyboard shortcut results in a new entry in the "Commands"
section in System Settings -> Keyboard --> Shortcuts. Each such entry is listed
by the command name, which makes it very difficult to tell them apart if I have
multiple commands that are similar (in my case keyboard shortcuts to send
specific key combinations, see attached image).
The column that shows the commands is not resizeable, so long commands get
truncated to the same point, and I cannot tell them apart.
The corresponding .desktop file created has a "Name" field; I can only change
it manually by editing the corresponding file in .local/share/applications, but
I should have the option to set it when defining the shortcut (as was the case
in Plasma 5).
Even if I change the name, I need to log out and log in for the new name to
register in the list, and it is only shown on the right-hand panel (also shown
in the image). This means that I cannot edit the name and I need to click on
every shortcut in the list to find the one that I'm looking for.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to "System Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts
2. Select Add New --> Command or Script
3. Define multiple similar long commands.
OBSERVED RESULT
All commands look similar and their names cannot be edited.
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to tell them apart more easily, either by resizing the column
or by having their names displayed instead of the commands themselves. The
names would be preferable, as some commands are difficult to read, whereas
names could be something easier to remember.
