Newbie with broken kwin shortcuts

Aureus_Bearealis · May 25, 2025, 5:10pm

Hello,

I have a brand new install of Garuda Dragonized, and kwin shortcuts are not working. I am a complete newbie to linux systems and may need a little hand holding and do apologize if that is the case.

So far I have tried different methods of getting them to work as suggested by the internet when Plasma 6 broke it last year from what I can tell. I made sure to reset all shortcuts back to default, and then performed a restart. These did not solve my issue. Unfortunately I am out of my depth and request assistance.

Respectfully,
Aureus

Hi,

You seem to be missing the last part of the garuda-inxi which tells you when was the last system update. So I will ask - have you updated the system after the fresh install?

Aureus_Bearealis · May 25, 2025, 5:44pm

Yes about 3 hours ago. I used the following command.

sudo -Syu

TilliDie · May 25, 2025, 5:52pm

Welcome to the forum

Please use

garuda-update

in the terminal
Also provide your full garuda-inxi

Aureus_Bearealis · May 25, 2025, 5:58pm

I was sure that was my full inxi minus PII, such as mac and IP. I previously ran the following command.

inxi -Fxz

What command should I run if that was not enough?

nepti · May 25, 2025, 6:00pm

garuda-inxi

Aureus_Bearealis · May 25, 2025, 6:03pm

Thank you for the correction Nepti.

Great! So it does seem like you need to reboot after the update and see if the issue persists.

Aureus_Bearealis · May 26, 2025, 1:17am

Unfortunately, still does not work even after a restart.

I switched to x11 from Wayland and the Issue still occured. With the help of ChatGPT over about 4 hours this solution was found to my issue.

Fixing Broken Global Shortcuts in KDE Plasma 6 (Garuda Linux)

This guide walks you through diagnosing and fixing broken global keyboard shortcuts (like Alt + F4 , Ctrl + 1 , etc.) on a fresh KDE Plasma 6 install (e.g., Garuda Linux Dr460nized).

Problem

Common global shortcuts do not work
Application-level shortcuts (like Ctrl + Shift + N in Konsole) work
System Settings show bindings, but pressing keys does nothing

Root Cause

KDE Plasma 6 replaced the shortcut daemon (kglobalaccel5 ) with a new one: kglobalacceld . However:

The daemon may not autostart correctly
Default shortcut configs may be missing or corrupted
KDE does not always map shortcuts correctly on fresh installs or certain keyboards

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Verify the Daemon is Installed and Running

Run this in Fish shell:

ps aux | grep kglobalacceld

If you see something like /usr/lib/kglobalacceld , it is running. If not, start it manually:

/usr/lib/kglobalacceld &

Note: This method is temporary and stops when the terminal closes.

2. Reset KDE Shortcut Config Files

Back up and clear the current shortcut config files:

mv ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc.bak
mv ~/.config/khotkeysrc ~/.config/khotkeysrc.bak 2>/dev/null
killall kglobalacceld
/usr/lib/kglobalacceld &

This clears broken configs and restarts the shortcut daemon.

3. Reassign Shortcuts

Open System Settings → Shortcuts → KWin

Search for “Close Window”
Reassign Alt + F4
Apply

Test other bindings like:

Assign Ctrl + 1 to “Toggle Overview”
Try Ctrl + T in Konsole

4. Autostart the Daemon on Login (Fish Shell)

Create a persistent startup script:

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart-scripts
set script_path ~/.config/autostart-scripts/kglobalacceld.sh

echo '#!/bin/bash' > $script_path
echo '/usr/lib/kglobalacceld &' >> $script_path
chmod +x $script_path

KDE will run this script at login.

Post-Reboot Verification

After rebooting:

ps aux | grep kglobalacceld

Ensure the daemon is running and shortcuts are working.
