KWin shortcuts reset since 6.1.0 using KDE Neon

All my KWin shortcuts have reset to default.

I have them saved and have managed to restore but it shouldn’t have happened imho.

Same here, on Fedora, except I don’t think I have a way to restore them.

It’s really annoying that the default shortcuts use Alt rather than Win/Super/Meta. They clash with IntelliJ shortcuts. And the keyboard has it for a reason.

This keeps happening to me. Fortunately, I can restore them with my regular Timeshift restore snapshots. Is there a better way to save them

There is an “export button” at the top of the main shortcut settings window in kde

Hi - just to make sure, when you’re running into those issues, are you referring to shortcuts that show up in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > KWin? (Ones like “Keep Window Above Others” and “Close Window”?)

It might be helpful to snag a copy of ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc when they are working correctly, then of that same file after you notice they’ve reset, and see what changes have happened - if there’s a general bug here, that might help diagnose what change is causing the shortcut to stop functioning?
