Hi, after a KDE update last month, the CTRL+X combination has stopped working in all applications. All other combinations and the CTRL and X keys work separately. Just to be sure, I connected another keyboard to my computer, but CTRL+X didn’t work there either. I tried to assign a different shortcut and any shortcut I assigned instead of CTRL+X doesn’t work either. I have been searching the internet for days but I have not found any solution.
Mine still works. What does it say in the System Settings app under Workspace → Shortcuts → edit → cut. Click the dropdown to see which boxes are checked and unchecked.
I checked again and both boxes are checked. Also, unchecking boxes doesn’t change anything. Either way, only Shift+Del is working for cut, which is undesirable.
Sorry for late response, I deleted those files and it did work. However, after returning my custom shortcuts, the problem arised again. So I checked which shortcut was responsible for this problem. Turns out the shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+<” that I use for a command was cancelling all the actions assigned to Ctrl+X somehow. It seems you cannot use both “Ctrl+Shift+<” and Ctrl+X at the same time in KWin. Now I changed the custom shortcut that I use and everything works normally again. Thanks.
