Short Summary

While trying to add a shortcut to hyprland for my first kando menu I just couldn't get it to work: first I tried it the way it was described in the documentation - that didn't work - then I asked myself why the shorcut should be global in the firstplace and why it can't just be a regular one instead. But then I created a second test menu and it worked, even without the global shortcut. To understand why this happens I then checked the menus.json file to see the differences and found that my test menu didn't have the shortcut value set, so I tried just removing it for the actual menu I wanted to use and it now works just fine.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Create a menu that has the shortcut json attribute set (this seems to always be true for the default menu)
  2. Add a bind to Hyprland that is not global (my bind: "bind = CTRL, Space, exec, kando --menu control")
  3. Try the shortcut

Kando Version

1.4.0

Installation Method

Via a package manger

Desktop Environment

Environment Version

Additional Information
