ever since updating to plasma 6 I been unable to add new shortcuts.
getting Error while communicating with the global shortcuts service
when ever I would try to add a shortcut.

I was able to workaround the issue at first by running kcmshell6 kcm_key

but ever since the 6.0.3 bug fix that no longer works and gives the same Error while communicating with the global shortcuts service

saw this and it was suggested there that it may be a config issue but I haven’t been able to find the issue. I tried moving my kglobalshortcutsrc file out of my config folder but that seems to have done nothing

trying to add a shortcut for the command notify-send "HELLO WORLD" for example produces this in the terminal

kcmshell6 kcm_keys

org.kde.kcm_keys: "org.kde.kglobalaccel.NoSuchComponent" "The component 'notify-send.desktop' doesn't exist."

EDIT: had to restart KDE for it to pick up that the kglobalshortcutsrc was no longer there but I am still unable to add shortcuts with the freshly generated config.

EDIT: Loging in to a new user fixes the issue so something is wrong in my configs somewhere

You can see it here:

What we plan to remove in Plasma 6 – Adventures in Linux and KDE.

KHotkeys

This was an earlier implementation of a global shortcut system that eventually grew niche though much-loved features such as mouse gestures. Unfortunately those features did not work on Wayland, many other features were critically buggy, the configuration and data storage formats were non-standard and fragile, and the code in general was in an advanced state of bit-rotting after having been abandoned for many years. We already have global shortcuts working using the newer KGlobalAccel system, and we’d already hidden the KHotkeys config UI from System Settings on Wayland in Plasma 5. So we made the decision to double down on KGlobalAccel and just finally delete KHotkeys once and for all for Plasma 6, rather than awkwardly ship two parallel global shortcut systems, which was always very odd and really not justifiable at all. Mouse gestures can eventually be added to KGlobalAccel if someone takes an interest in doing so. No one’s opposed to it!

yeah I am using the new hot key system not the old one


clicking the add new does not work

I think this may be config related but not sure what config ran plasma*; do mv -- "$j" "${j%}.bak"; done (got that from the arch wiki plasma page)

But it still fails with the same error so it’s probably a different config that the above is not picking up

I tried moving the following out of my .config folder so far with no luck
https://bpa.st/SY4A

EDIT: apparently some how this file was breaking the global shortcuts service
/home/zany130/.config/systemd/user/graphical-session.target.wants/clipboard-sync.service

no idea how though… that comes from this program
