Apps are not closed by lxqt-session if launched by shortcuts set in kglobalshortcutsrc

Sorry if this question is totally irrelevant (I'm in the middle of coding and may say weird things):

Have you tested the Qt6-based lxqt-session under X11 to make sure that apps are closed correctly there?

Sure that I use qt6 lxqt-session from day one on of it's birth.

I noticed only now switching between labwc and kwin that fpad opened old files and not the recent modified ones. It closes real fast, while using labwc/labwc#1601 I can see the waiting time, especially with featherpad which window stay a some seconds open, disppears and then session exits, on X11 and labwc. Probably kwin just kills the app launched with this option...

I don't know which option you mean (still being busy with the jungle of lxqt-config's code), but I'm happy if lxqt-session works fine :)

Found the reason: it's because lxqt-session doesn't know about apps launched by shortcuts configured by kwin/systemsettings in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc, like fpad in this case.

Basically under all compositors we need this workaround used in labwc until a solution is found for lxqt-globalkeysd lxqt/lxqt-globalkeys#282.

    <keybind key="W-f">
      <action name="Execute" command="pcmanfm-qt '/usr/share/applications/featherpad.desktop'"/>
    </keybind>

Here the KDE-complicated workaround.

kglobalshortcutsrc:

[services][fpad.desktop]
_launch=Meta+F

~/.local/share/applications/fpad.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=pcmanfm-qt '/usr/share/applications/featherpad.desktop'
Name=fpad
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application

A workaround for what? I don't need any workaround under labwc:

    <keybind key="W-f">
      <action name="Execute" command="featherpad" />
    </keybind>

If you launch it by shortcut it is outside of lxqt-session , see pstree.

OK, may bad, you mean what the title of this page says :)
