My custom hotkey (Win+A) stopped working.

Hotkeys module is loaded:

me@hofvarpnir:~$ ps ax | grep kglobalaccel
1452 ? Sl 0:05 /usr/bin/kglobalaccel5
2515 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto kglobalaccel
me@hofvarpnir:~$ qdbus org.kde.kded5 /kded loadedModules | grep khotkeys
khotkeys

Please help me to collect information to file a bug. I am a technical person, but I know nothing about KDE.

I am using KDE 5.4.2 / Kubuntu 15.10.

Does this happen because the layout changes (at startup)?
(Eg. because "a" is on a different position between qwerty and azerty)

=> Try to restart kglobalaccel5

Code: Select all

pkill kglobalaccld5; sleep 1; kglobalaccld5 &


Shortcut revived?

btw, configuration is clear from below screenshots:

I am leaving it in non-working state for now, waiting for your advice how to debug it.

No.

Didn't help.

Have you checked that the script isn't invoked at all and doesn't just enter the wrong branch?

Yes, script isn't invoked at all.

Sorry for the "delay" - since KDE 5.5 is now released, did you have a chance to try with that version (and bugfixes in khotkeys config management)?

I understand that position, to test against the latest version. However, this is not an option for me now. For sure I'll install it once it is available for my distro.
