Keyboard Shortcuts Greyed Out

WeeGerGai

Apologies if I am missing something, but I am using Fedora 40 under GNOME, and the choices to change keyboard shortcuts are greyed out, even after unticking "Use Gnome (GSD) shortcuts when available) and restarting.

I am trying to use the "Change repeat mode" assignment, but that is not found under the multimedia section of GNOME's built-in keyboard shortcut settings. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I suggest to install KGlobalAccel, that's the globalshortcuts backend to use all shortcuts through MPRIS2.

After installation is there anything that must be done? The options are still all greyed out and as far as I can tell there isn't anything in the settings for applying KGA.

I think it should start automatically on logon, check that it is running with:

systemctl --user status plasma-kglobalaccel.service

Sorry for the late reply,

The output is:

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-kglobalaccel.service; static)
    Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/user/service.d
             └─10-timeout-abort.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)

Not sure what the dead inactive status means in this case.
