Shortcuts are broken in plasma 5.27.6

Support KDE Plasma
1

Basically after some update last month I noticed that I cannot use Ctrl+Alt+T to open konsole anymore. I then realized that almost all shortcuts which I added in settings myself don’t work. However, some do. I can still open calculator by pressing it’s button, Alt+F1 opens Kickoff, most desktop effect shortcuts seem to work. Updates don’t fix it, and I don’t know what to do so any help is very appreciated.
Some info about my system:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel Version: 6.4.0-0-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

Then you have other issues - which issues that might be - I have no idea.

Just recreate them in system settings → shortcuts.
And make backups.
Shortcut configuration files are in:

Custom Shortcuts
.config/khotkeysrc
Global Shortcuts
.config/kglobalshortcutsrc

I tried that. The shortcuts are there, they just don’t work.

So I don’t know how to help. I would check permissions of these files, search kde bugs, or maybe check if removing
/home/user/.cache/systemsettings/
would help (but copy it somewhere first for backup purpose). If you are on wayland I would also check if login to x11 would make a difference. Also check keyboard layout.

Actually, they work on wayland but not X. I don’t want to daily drive wayland though.

Maybe open an upstream issue or search for it. Plasma is targeting Wayland only at some point anyway.

Try looking at the logs, both journalctl and ~/.xsession-errors and if it does report anything when you do a shortcut (that fails). Usually there is a trace of it somewhere.
