Bug ID: 449959
Summary: No obvious way to unbind Meta key or change other
actions to meta key
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, to disable the meta key, users must use a hack like this:

https://superuser.com/questions/1156130/kde-disable-super-l-windows-key-key-shortcut-as-menu-launcher
This question reemerges due to some wanting to bind Meta to an open overview.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/sogvgf/is_there_a_way_to_map_the_new_overview_effect_to/
Google "KDE meta shortcut" will pop up more similar questions...
The hacks works, btw. That's probably also why it never becomes a bug report.
OBSERVED RESULT
Users cannot replace other actions' shortcuts with a single press of Meta. Meta
is slightly different from ctrl/shift/alt because it will open
kickoff/startmenu/launchpad on all modern systems, some users do want to change
single press action to something else.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Put "Open kickoff/launcher" inside Settings -> ShortCut -> Plasma/Kwin, so
that the user can turn it off by simply unselecting it or deleting the
shortcut.
2. Enable user to set an action's shortcut as Meta. (as it is practically
allowed by Meta using some hack)
