It's not a bug, it was programmed like that but I see you point. As a short therm solution we could add a checkbox that defines if it's a global shortcut or not on the action itself. Binding it to the Capture is kind of hidden and might not be obvious.

But I just noticed that shortcuts defined that way don't follow ksnip delay, screenshot is always taken immediately

Yes, the Plasma shortcuts trigger ksnip via command line and you have to provide a delay there via flag.

Agreed. For me that's the best solution.

Just looking at the code, it looks like the Global Hotkey is only active when Captures are enabled, so actually the one proposal you had :/

It's not that way, for sure. You can try it. For instance, create an Action with Ctrl+C as shortcut and these two options checked: Copy image to Clipboard and Hide Main Window. Also, make sure Enable Global HotKeys is enabled in HotKeys tab.

Then try to use Ctrl+C to copy something in other window like your web browser. It won't work. Because Ctrl+C is now globally assigned to ksnip.

Then you uncheck Enable Global HotKeys and now Ctrl+C works as it should, running only on ksnip window. without affecting others.

Yes, I see it's not work but the code is there. I'm trying to figure out why it's not working.

Nope, that was just a strangely named variable covering a different use case. I have added a checkbox, next to the shortcut which allows making a shortcut global and non-global. When you test it, have a look if the default setting for existing actions is "Global -> Enabled"

Thank you. I'll wait the AppImage to try, because building the git is not working for me.

What do you think about the position of the checkbox, is it understandable?

Unfortunately I still couldn't test, AppImage is not available.

Bummer, I've retriggered the pipeline, let's see if it works now, it needs a couple of minutes.

Perfect! Thank you. This bug is fixed. Yes, the checkbox is suitable.

Should I close this issue and the other one about 0 delay?

Thanks for testing!
