Do you know about the patches? Are they any good/worth adopting and maintaining upstream?
Sorry, nope, don't have any on-hand. I vaguely remember that openSUSE had a patch in the early 4.x days, but e.g. Netrunner just shipped ksuperkey which is an external app that works as mentioned (hijack press+release of meta and send a fake Alt- F1). For a proper solution the challenges are: - We may have more than one launcher instance - Our shortcuts system doesn't like modifier-only key sequences - How to expose things in the UI Plasma already tries to handle some of this, e.g. activatable widgets show up in Global Keyboard Shortcuts and launchers default to Alt+F1, but I have no idea if it's trying to handle the multi-instance problem in some way. It's possible that the new alternatives system can help us there structurally somehow, since we now have a system to identify launcher widgets as such. As for the shortcut, I'm just thinking out of the blue here, but maybe the ksuperkey approach isn't totally shit - maybe we could similarly hijack an event pair and generate a XF86Menu event and have that as alternate shortcut for the launchers or something. But yeah, would be interesting to hear what Martin's thoughts are.
