control + T not working [SOLVED]

Hi,
i am running kde plasma x64 and suddenly ctrl+T (new tab) stopped working..in internet browsers, file managers-browsers, etc..
i restored default hotkeys in plasma settings with no result. Is there any other way?

Some global shortcut grabs it away.

By opening the global shortcut section in system settings and removing that shortcut.

Re: control + T not working [SOLVED]

What option specifically?
Restarting kglobalaccel or kwin or whateer was grabbing the key might apply the change.

Re: control + T not working [SOLVED]

Re: control + T not working [SOLVED]

Use

LC_ALL=C systemsettings

And please also use a normal font (DejaVu or so)

Re: control + T not working [SOLVED]

That's not helpful because it lacks context…
Run systemsettings w/ the default locale and post the screenshot again. In english. And a readable font.

Re: control + T not working [SOLVED]

That's a local shortcut and irrelevant to your problem.

Install xdotool and run

sleep 5; xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"

Then press ctrl+t and keep it pressed until the xdotool command finished (you got 5 seconds to get ctrl+t pressed, thanks to the sleep)

Then post your xorg log.

That's not your xorg log and useless. Post the complete /var/log/Xorg.0.log
You can use https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pastebin
