No, I’ve never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can’t set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it’s a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682
That report mentions 6.0.3 I’ve had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn’t been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.
Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it’s resolved in 6.0.5 but I’m in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it’s still clearing on reboot.
It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.
How is the word pronounced though?
