Bug ID: 437979
Summary: Switching global themes and choosing to use desktop
layout duplicates application launcher keyboard
shortcut, unbinding meta key
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: bionicbiso...@protonmail.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0

Two Application Launcher shortcut entries, both nonfunctional
SUMMARY
Choosing to switch the global theme and selecting the checkbox to apply the
associated desktop layout duplicates the "Activate Application Launcher"
shortcut under the "Plasma" category. One of the duplicates has the default Alt
F1 set for the meta key to function but the other is blank. This results in an
unusable meta regardless of which one is set to Alt F1.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select any theme in Global Themes in System Settings
2. Choose to apply the desktop layout with the checkbox
3. Attempt to activate application launcher with meta key
OBSERVED RESULT
Application Launcher does not respond to meta key as the keyboard shortcut is
now duplicated with no easy way to remove one
EXPECTED RESULT
Only one Application Launcher shortcut entry is present at any time under
keyboard shortcuts. It either stays bound to alt f1 or is unbound (if the
creator of the theme really intended to) with a way to rebind it.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch - fully up to date as of 6/1/21, clean install for
testing
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This issue was also present on Fedora KDE. The default key bindings also have
no meta key functionality yet KDE comes with this out of the box. This should
probably be remedied as well.
