Description

Flameshot Version

Flameshot 12.1.0()

Installation Type

Snap from Snapcraft

Operating System type and version

Manjaro KDE

Description

in flameshot gui, none of the keybindings work (Ctrl+s, Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c, Esc, a, t, p, ...). This is a Wayland issue and does not happen on X11 of the same exact setup (Manjaro KDE)

This was first reported by @mystiquewolf in https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1656#issuecomment-1188150135

Steps to reproduce

  1. in a Wayland session sudo snap install flameshot
  2. run the daemon
  3. select a region
  4. press any key and see nothing happens
