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

https://paste.cachyos.org/p/8a8084e.log

### 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`
`Invocation: d300d863c60644a7a6825c41956a6164`
`Process: 1186 ExecStart=/usr/lib/kglobalacceld (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main` `PID: 1186 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)`
`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.
