Bug#1117847: systemsettings: Shortcut capture on X11 inserts imaginary Meta
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:6.3.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When I try to capture a shortcut like "Alt-v" or "Alt-{" (i.e., Alt-Shift-[), the capture process pulls an extra Meta modifier out of nowhere. I have Meta mapped to Win, and while X11 modifiers and XKB are different beasts, Meta and Alt are on different modifiers (Mod4 and Mod1, respectively). I confirmed with xkbwatch that Alt, Meta, and Shift are completely separate states. This does not happen on Wayland, which correctly sees "Alt-v" or "Alt-{".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Make sure you have Alt and Meta mapped separately (e.g., with system-settings / Keyboard / Key Bindings / Alt and Win behavior / "Meta is mapped to Left Win")
1. Start Plasma on X11
2. Start system-settings
3. Go to Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Navigation -> Activate Next Tab
4. Click "+Add"
5. Start with either Shift or Alt, and then hit the other one, and then "["
OBSERVED RESULT
A "Meta+" will appear out of nowhere in the middle of this process.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Alt-{"
