Plasma 5 keyboard "Alt+1"

Question

I use KDE plasma 5.10.1 .

I use Alt+1 ... Alt+10 to change tabs in web browsers or konsole .
my problem is Alt+1 not working in plasma desktop and i always replace /usr/bin/kglobalaccel5 to /usr/bin/kglobalaccel for fix this problem .

For a long time plasma 5 have this problem .
Why kglobalaccel5 can not handle Alt+1 ?
note : I dont use NumPad

Answer 1

There is a shortcut in System Setting/Shortcuts/Global Shortcuts for Walk Through Windows of Current Application (Reverse), which is set to alt+~, if you delete that shortcut (i.e. set it to custom and leave it empty, then press apply) you will be able to use alt+1 in other applications, like you case with the browser.

(Tested under different Linux distro with KDE Plasma.)

Edit: on my keyboard layout ~ is on key 1, maybe that is why it worked for me.

Answer 2

disabling Alt+` and Alt+~ shortcut will works but we will remove a good shortcut! the better way is to edit the "ir" keyboard layout manually and remove the accent from key 1.

Follow this steps:

• sudo vi /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ir
• find a line containing this:

key <AE01> { [ Farsi_1,     exclam,              grave,                   1       ] };

• remove "grave,". the new line should be:

key <AE01> { [ Farsi_1,     exclam,              1       ] };

• save and exit
• remove ir keyboard and add again
• Finished!
