Bug#858212: systemsettings: Can't set keyboard shortcuts containing alt and shift
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:5.8.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to set a global keyboard shortcut for moving windows between
workspaces using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[up, right, down, left].
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
When trying to set the shortcut using the UI I was unable to set a
shortcut using alt and shift in the same shortcut. By pressing ctrl
first make it possible to create shortcut containing ctrl and either
shift or alt, but not booth; the UI doesn't register that the third
modifier is pressed. Can't create shortcut containing just alt and
shift, the application just resets the input-field for the keys. The
problem occurs for other keys than up/right/down/left, like the
modifiers in combination with 'p'.
Tried to manually change `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` by adding
`Alt` to the shortcuts and saving the text file. But after restarting
Kwin the file was restored and the changes removed.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It isn't possible to set keyboard shortcuts with the modifiers shift
and alt.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Being able to set keyboard shortcuts contain both Alt and Shift.
