Nixpkgs: Global shortcuts triggering dbus commands are defunct in Plasma

Created on 31 Mar 2018 · 5Comments · Source: NixOS/nixpkgs

Issue

Global shortcuts can trigger Plasma Api via dbus. Like it's done for taking a screenshot with Spectactle. Unfortunately this doesn't work for any dbus related Shortcuts. Mapping Plasma internal commands (e.g. switch between applications) works though.

Screenshot

Steps to reproduce

Install spectacle and press the <PrintSc> button.

Try installing the nixos package with attribute name qt5.full. Prior to installing that package I had the same issue. Afterwards, it worked.

Any workaround here? Having to open the application every time to take screenshots at the moment.

On pressing print

dbus-monitor

Will try and write an update here

PS: @johnalotoski's solution worked. What's the solution here? To add the missing qt5 inputs to the spectacle package?

Works for me with adding qt5.qttools to system packages.
