Breaks plasma 6 global shortcut service.

[zany130]

somehow the user systemd service this creates breaks plasma 6 global shortcut service. I vertified this by removing /home/zany130/.config/systemd/user/graphical-session.target.wants/clipboard-sync.service.

before the removal adding a shortcut to a script in plasma settings produces this error in the terminal

kcmshell6 kcm_keys
qt.qml.typeresolution.cycle: Cyclic dependency detected between "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/private/TextFieldContextMenu.qml" and "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/MenuItem.qml"
qrc:/kcm/kcm_keys/main.qml:466:5: QML OverlaySheet: Binding loop detected for property "implicitHeight"
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/private/TextFieldContextMenu.qml:235:5: QML MenuItem: Binding loop detected for property "implicitWidth"
org.kde.kcm_keys: "Error while calling objectPath of added applicationnotify-send.desktop"
org.kde.kcm_keys: "org.kde.kglobalaccel.NoSuchComponent" "The component 'notify-send.desktop' doesn't exist."

removing the file allows me to successfully add the same shortcut.

I tried reinstalling the clipboard-sync package both from the aur and by https://github.com/dnut/clipboard-sync#advanced-installation

and it still breaks.

here is the KDE issue where I was troubleshooting this

Thanks for the report.

All you did was delete that file and it resolved the issue? Did you also stop the service or reboot?

That file is not actually a part of clipboard-sync. It's created by systemd when you enable the clipboard-sync service. When the service is enabled, that means it will start automatically when you login. But you can actually run the service without enabling it.

I'm curious if the problem is actually specifically due to that file, or if it's simply caused by clipboard-sync running.

With the service disabled, can you try running the clipboard-sync command and see if you can reproduce that error while clipboard-sync is running?

Yes you are correct. its not the service file that causes the issue its the actual process. (I thought it was the service file) running systemctl --user stop clipboard-sync.service also allows me to add shortcuts to kde. trying to run clipboard-sync --log-level trace to see if I can find anything useful

EDIT: hmm all I get is this
