            Bug ID: 463563
           Summary: Hyper acts as single key press not as modifier
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: nathan at aplace.us
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When using the Hyper key as a modifier for keyboard shortcuts, it does not
work. The shortcut selects Hyper as a single key press and will not accept
secondary key presses to be modified. It essentially appears to be acting like
an alpha-numeric key and not as a modifier.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings > Shortcuts
2. Selection category and option for shortcut
3. Hold Hyper key

OBSERVED RESULT
The waiting dialog for keyboard input will exit and garbage will be inserted
into shortcut window.

EXPECTED RESULT
Allowed to continue finishing the shortcut with a non-modifier and modifier
keys.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux 6.1.1/Plasma 5.26.4
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a dedicated Hyper key not a remap. Xkb is using a defined keyboard
setup for this setup without a remap, as is the console driver, so the Hyper
key works even on the console. I don't experience this type of problem under
XFCE, Gnome, or any of the other Window Managers just under KDE Plasma.
