--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
I can definitely sympathize with your frustration that the shortcut now does
something different. What appears to have happened is that Ctrl+Esc to open the
process list was secretly shadowing Ctrl+Esc to close the active file, which is
specified here:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/-/blob/master/src/gui/kstandardshortcut.cpp?ref_type=heads#L74

In Plasma 6, we've made a concerted effort to always require the use of the
Meta/Super/Windows key for global shortcuts, and for that reason, the new
shortcut is Meta+Escape. So by changing it, it allowed the original, intended
use of Ctrl+Esc to start working again.

That's exactly the problem that happens when you don't use the Meta key for
global shortcuts! So we fixed that bug, and this is the unexpected side effect
of it.

So it's unfortunate, but expected at this point in time. Often there's some
friction when you correct something that was wrong for years to be right.
