Bug ID: 423325
Summary: Modifier-only Meta key shortcut for opening Kickoff
breaks a lot
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.19.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Everything KDE from git master with Qt 5.15.0 on top of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Periodically, the meta key stops opening Kickoff. Kickoff has the Alt+F1
shortcut bound to it, but hitting the meta key does not open it.
Looking in my ~/config/.kwinrc file, it does not contain a
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts] group. Manually adding the following:
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=activateLauncherMenu
...And then running `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure` does not resolve the
issue.
If I remove the Alt+F1 shortcut from kickoff using the config window and then
re-add it, nothing changes; the kwinrc file is not updated and hitting the Meta
key still does not open the menu.
I've heard a lot of complaints about this on social media recently and have
intermittently experienced it myself for the past month or so. Oddly, it seems
to fix itself after a day or two, so maybe there's some race condition
somewhere.
