Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I wanted to change the default terminal emulator from Konsole to Alacritty. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I did change it, and it seems like it took effect. The problem though is that using the Alt+Ctrl+T command still opens Konsole despite it was changed in KDE system settings under the default apps menu. * What was the outcome of this action? Using Alt+Ctrl+T still opens Konsole. * What outcome did you expect instead? Using Alt+Ctrl+T supposed to open the user selected default terminal emulator which is Alacritty in my case. As I wasn't able to send e-mail via reportbug I copied the generated file into Thunderbird and sent them with it.
Hey, Thanks for your bug report. I can understand the rationale behind your bug report. But the shortcut system is different ;) If you go to Systemsettings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts you see that Alt+Ctrl+T is assigned to launch konsole and not to start the default terminal. So as a workaround you need add the Shortcut to launch Alacritty. And than you should create a bugreport on kde bugtracker: bugs.kde.org and post the link here in the bugreport, so we can track when KDE is fixing this. Best regards, hefee
