[SOLVED] Dolphin overwriting AwesomeWM keybind

Hey,

I have a keybinding in AwesomeWM, it's super + e. This keybinding gets overwritten the first time I open Dolphin and gets changed to opening another Dolphin window. Is there a way to make it not do that?

Re: [SOLVED] Dolphin overwriting AwesomeWM keybind

configure another/remove the hotkey dolphin has for that within it's settings.

On rechecking seems this is a global bind of KDE's hotkey daemon, check

kcmshell5 kcm_keys

instead.

I looked into what you suggested, but I couldn't figure out how to install the keys kcm module onto my system. (could've missed it, but didn't find any mentions of it on ArchWiki)

Could not find module 'kcm_keys'. See kcmshell5 --list for the full list of modules.

Mhm, check whether you have a ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and remove the

[org.kde.dolphin.desktop]
_k_friendly_name=Dolphin
_launch=Meta+E,Meta+E,Dolphin

section if present.

Tried that, but it seems to have regenerated itself. (I deleted all contents entirely, because the shortcuts defined there are of no use for me)

I set it to

[org.kde.dolphin.desktop]
_k_friendly_name=Dolphin
_launch=

and I'll see if that helps.
