KDE Keyboard Shortcut help

Hi guys,

I am trying to rebind the terminal keyboard shortcut to open up st terminal instead of Konsole. I am using LukeSmithxyz fork of st (https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/st)

I have changed the default terminal to st in "Default Applications". When I change the Konsole shortcut to st, I get the message "no service configured". I also made a .desktop file of st, but when I changed the shortcut to open this file, I get a message telling me the file is not an executable.

st works perfectly fine when opening via Konsole or via the .desktop file I made. So any help here would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi!

Open the systemsettings — shortcuts, then click «+ Add Application», choose st from the menu and change the shortcut. If it is already used, you will be asked to overwrite the current setting.

When I do this I get the error message "Error while communicating with the global shortcut service". But if I try and test it with Firefox there is no issue. Is this because st has been installed via a git clone?

says, that kglobalaccel5 does not run, is crashed or similar. You can try running the executable with

kglobalaccel5
#or with full debug output
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 kglobalaccel5

to get more detailed output if the entries in journalctl do not lead to an understandable error.
