            Bug ID: 432523
           Summary: Keyboard shortcut that blocks CTRL+S (Save)
           Product: khelpcenter
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kde-doc-english at kde.org
          Reporter: ersannes at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

I have only tested this with the Clipboard (Klipper) application so far, which
is where I intended to use the keyboard shortcut, but whenever I set the
following shortcut: CTRL + SHIFT + | (§-key on my keyboard layout), then it
would prevent CTRL+S (save, default) from functioning whatsoever. The moment I
disabled the keyboard shortcut again, the problem went away.

I am using a Norwegian Bokmål keyboard layout that is built-in to Kubuntu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Opening Klipper settings (Configure Clipboard)
2. Assigning keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+| (it will print CTRL+§ as a result)
3. Opening up Visual Studio Code or Kate to test, and unable to use CTRL+S.
However, CTRL + SHIFT + S works as intended (Save as).

OBSERVED RESULT

The problem disappears whenever I remove this keyboard shortcut, or choose a
different one. CTRL + | for example works just fine. So for some reason it is
mixing the § sign with S(?)

EXPECTED RESULT

That it records CTRL+SHIFT+| instead of using the shift function on the letter
