Bug ID: 510724
Summary: Key Bindings screen presents superfluous "Meta is
mapped to {Left} Win" options which have no
user-facing effect
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the System Settings app, go to Keyboard >> Keyboard >> Key Bindings and
expand the "Alt and Win behavior" tree.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. See the options "Meta is mapped to Left Win" and "Meta is mapped to Win",
where 'Meta' is used with the meaning it has in xkeyboard-config (i.e. it's not
'Super', which is the keycode normally assigned to the "Windows" key in
xkeyboard-config).
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Do not see these options, because they change no user-facing behaviour and
so there is no value presenting them in the GUI.
Why do these options have no user-facing effect in Plasma? Because 'Meta' and
'Super' (in xkeyboard-config terms) seem to be treated indistinguishably as
'Meta' in Qt terms. Therefore, although these options do change the mappings at
the xkeyboard-config level, they don't change the fact that the "Windows" key
scancode ends up mapping through to Qt::META.
