Picture displaying the weird symbol
SUMMARY
When attempting to set keyboard shortcuts on specific windows that involve the
Meta key (a.k.a. "Windows" key) , a random symbol (specifically, the Khmer
vowel sign ៀ) appears before the Meta key in the shortcut field. This makes it
impossible to assign shortcuts to windows that start with the Meta key.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pick any window -> Right click on the title bar -> More Actions -> Set
Window Shortcut ...
2. Try to assign a shortcut using the Meta key (e.g. "Meta+Shift+A")
OBSERVED RESULT
Once Meta is pressed, an unknown symbol gets inserted first (followed by "," +
the correct key combination). As everything after the first shortcut is
stripped, only the unknown symbol remains (and the correct key combination is
stripped).
EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to set shortcuts that involve the Meta ("Windows") key.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
This Ubuntu 22.04 just upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Setting shortcuts to windows is the most useful functionality that saves
tremendous amounts of time when working with over 50 open windows (most of
which are e.g. Google Chrome and are hard to distinguish between). Using the
Windows key to assign shortcuts makes most sense.
