Bug#1068779: Shortcuts for systemmonitor and plasma-systemmonitor are missing after upgrade or when installing it
Package: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.27.5-2
On one of the machines I upgraded to Debian12 from Deb11/KDE the Default shortcut Ctrl+Esc for "Show System Activity" in "KDE Daemon" under Shortcuts is disabled but not on the other. This meant that the process manager didn't show anymore when pressing ctrl+esc after upgrading which can be quite annoyance to users and seems like a problem that is easy to solve: just make sure that shortcut doesn't get disabled. Note that Ctrl+Esc is also set as a shortcut under File->Close. I don't know why it was disabled. It could also be enabled whenever plasma-systemmonitor / systemmonitor gets installed. That this is hard to find under "KDE Daemon" where most users wouldn't expect this entry makes it an even bigger problem but the shortcuts should be working by default without requiring any configuration in general anyway.
In addition, the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be set for opening plasma-systemmonitor; currently this has to be configured under Custom Shortcuts. It should be there by default or right after installing plasma-systemmonitor which should be installed by default.
