Duplicate non working keybinding in plasma shortcut

Here is the entries in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
There are several Activate Application Menu Widget
The only one working is the following one.

activate widget 236=Alt±,none,Activate Application Menu Widget

  1. Are the rest of them from old versions of plasma so that they have different widget numbers?
  2. the sticky not shortcut will make a difference for any keybinding I set up.
  3. A different but relevant question: how to add an entry so that I can set the shortcut to launch the 11th app on the task manager. There are entries for app from 1 to 10 but not anymore. Simply adding an entry in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc.
    Any idea? Thanks.

Presumably they would be for different application launchers. There are several application launcher alternatives, such as a cascading menu, the Kicker, the Dashboard, and there’s a Manjaro-specific one too.

So I’m guessing they will all have different widget numbers, but only one of them works when you only have one of them on the panel. As soon as you remove a widget from the panel, its shortcut stops working. This is the intended behavior.

I think you can, by adding a modifier key for the shortcut ─ Shift is the most conventional way, e.g. Meta+Shift+1.
