Hi,

I followed this blog post on how to exclude alt+tab from “ignore global shortcuts” since I have a game that behaves a bit weird with global shortcuts but I want to be able to tab out of it.

Since I’m on openSuse, I followed the blog-entry and an openSuse guide to create a patch and I’ve created one for kglobalaccel-5.x as follows:

--- a/src/runtime/component.cpp	2024-05-04 13:39:39.000000000 +0200
+++ b/src/runtime/component.cpp	2025-03-03 23:56:39.073843737 +0100

 void Component::deactivateShortcuts(bool temporarily)
 {
     for (GlobalShortcut *shortcut : std::as_const(_current->_actionsMap)) {
+        if (shortcut->uniqueName() == QLatin1String("Walk Through Windows")){
+            continue;
+        }
         if (temporarily //
             && _uniqueName == QLatin1String("kwin") //
             && shortcut->uniqueName() == QLatin1String("Block Global Shortcuts")) {

Just to realize afterwards that I’m using KDE6 and not KDE5…

I’ve downloaded the source for kglobalaccel-6.x afterwards to change it there, but there is no component.cpp…

Does anyone know where I can insert this or a similar (if possible with the code) if-clause for the alt+tab shortcut to be excluded from ignoring all shortcuts for a specific window?

I’ve found a component.cpp in kglobacceld with this method, but I’m not sure if I did it right since it doesn’t exclude the shortcut. If it makes a difference, my system language is set to German.

Thanks in advance for any help :)
