Description
### Kernel
Linux 7.1.6-1-cachyos
### Desktop Environment / Window Manager
KDE Plasma
### CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
### GPU / Driver
AMD Radeon RX 7600 / amdgpu
### Description
After an update a few days ago, all keyboard shortcuts stopped working. On investigating, I found that plasma-kglobalaccel.service exits as soon as it's run.
I know there's a closed issue regarding the exact issue, but the solution there didn't work for me.
I've updated and rebooted multiple times and it doesn't help
### Steps to Reproduce
1.run cachyos
2.attempt to use keyboard shortcuts
### Expected Behavior
expect keyboard shortcuts to work
### Actual Behavior
keyboard shortcuts don't work
### Logs / Error Messages

### Additional Context
`systemctl --user status plasma-kglobalaccel.service`
`plasma-kglobalaccel.service - KDE Global Shortcuts Server`
`Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-kglobalaccel.service; static)`
`Active: inactive (dead) since Tue 2026-08-04 21:22:01 CDT; 22min ago`

`Mem peak: 3.9M`
`CPU: 14ms`
note that restarting the service doesn't work, it exits immediately after.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked log and reproducing the failure with `systemctl --user status plasma-kglobalaccel.service` on the reported CachyOS, KDE Plasma, and kernel environment. Compare the service's immediate exit with the working behavior described in the issue; done means the service remains usable and keyboard shortcuts work after restarting or rebooting.
