I thought that I would update this thread to follow up on what has worked for me to solve this problem, just in case someone else is having the same issue.
Running plugins from the buttons did work, but as mentioned, there are only three buttons, and the tooltips do not identify which plugin is assigned to which button.
So I tried the workaround, adding the following:
Code:
[Development]
AutoCheckAccelerators=false
to ~/.config/kdeglobals and that fixed the problem. I can now run the plugins from the plugin menu.
Once again, here are my system specs
Code:
Host: LinuxMain Kernel: 4.4.0-135-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.8.9 Distro: Linux Mint 18.1 Serena
Thanks for the help.
