Bug ID: 442614
Summary: Application Launcher shortcut broken
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: matthias.schru...@freenet.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
After update 5.22.5, the Application Launcher/Application Menu cannot be opened
by pressing the Meta key anymore
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to Plasma version 5.22.5
2. Have a button for the application launcher (Kickoff) or application menu
(kicker) on your taskbar
3. Hit the Meta key (aka Windows key, the one between Ctrl and Alt on most
keyboards).
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
The application menu or launcher should open upon pressing the Meta key.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No changes have been made to the default key mapping. Reverting key mapping to
defaults did not solve the problem.
I also tried right-clicking the launcher/menu shortcut and opening its settings
to manually change the keyboard shortcut. However, the dialog refuses to accept
plain Meta as a keyboard shortcut. It expects a combination of two or more
keys.
(Sorry for opening this issue for version 5.22.4 instead of 5.22.5; that option
is not available in the dialog)
