KDE Keyboard Shortcuts — script works in terminal but not as "Command"

I have a Python script (#!/usr/bin/env python3) in ~/.local/bin/ that sends a signal via os.kill(pid, signal.SIGUSR1).

- From terminal: mimo toggle works fine
- From System Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts → "Command" with absolute path /home/user/.local/bin/mimo toggle → nothing happens
- Already tried: absolute path (no ~), #!/usr/bin/python3 shebang, and a stripped-down version that logs to /tmp/mimo_toggle.log — log file never gets created, script doesn't seem to run at all

What environment does KDE use to run these commands? Different PATH? Some sandboxing/restriction? Do I need a bash -c wrapper?

Running KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland, Debian 13.

Thanks.

Hi everyone! I've noticed that sometimes browser notifications (I use Brave) don't feel quite right or disappear too fast in Plasma.

Curiously, I tried killing the plasmashell process and noticed that notifications started appearing in a centered box in the middle of the screen. Honestly? I liked it much more. It's easier to read and harder to miss.

I'm using a vanilla KDE Plasma setup without modifications. My question/suggestion is: Could KDE improve or innovate in this aspect? Maybe an option to have centered or more prominent notifications for those of us who find the bottom-corner ones too easy to ignore. What do you think?

I know I can change the timeout and the corner in the settings, but I find that centered notifications are much more 'urgent' and readable for critical browser alerts. Plasma currently lacks a 'Center of Screen' position option.

I'm running Debian with KDE Plasma
