            Bug ID: 345743
           Summary: The multimedia key 'toggle touchpad' does nothing, and
                    setting it as a shortcut for kcm_touchpad behaves
                    weird
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.2.2
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
               URL: http://ibin.co/1wmQF1SdmSRM
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_khotkeys
          Assignee: kde@michael-jansen.biz
          Reporter: anohigisavay@gmail.com

I don't know which category this bug should go to but this is as far as I can
get.
I have a Dell Inspiron 14R Turbo where Fn+F2 toggles the touchpad. In KDE 4 it
works well but in Plasma 5 it does nothing.
If I set it as a keyboard shortcut for 'Toggle Touchpad', it shows odd
characters, see the URL for a demonstration.
However, the shortcut actually works, until a restart that resets the shortcut
to blank.

I think these two are related bugs and maybe solved with one shot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
[Touchpad key does nothing]
1. Press the toggle touchpad multimedia key.

[Weird shortcut behavior]
1. Open kcm_touchpad settings page
2. Go to Enable/Disable Touchpad
3. Click the Configure button for keyboard shortcuts.
4. Set the multimedia key as a shortcut for Toggle Touchpad

Actual Results:  
[Touchpad key does nothing]
Nothing happened.

[Weird shortcut behavior]
The shortcut is shown as odd characters. It works, but is reset after a
computer restart (maybe session logout. I'll confirm in a minute).

Expected Results:  
[Touchpad key does nothing]
Should toggle the status of touchpad.

[Weird shortcut behavior]
Shortcut is shown as normal chars, say 'Touchpad Toggle'.
The shortcut should be preserved after a logout or restart.
