Thanks for that, Martin. I ran the Neon unstable git iso from 21.08.16 and noticed that the application launcher only opens when the meta key is pressed, but doesn't close when pressed again. This behaviour is a bit unexpected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press meta key 2. Application launcher opens 3. Press again Actual Results: It stays open. Expected Results: The application launcher should toggle. 1616213 1 thomas.luebking 2016-08-23 11:03:29 +0000 This belongs to either plasma-desktop (kickoff) or krunner. Maybe kglobalaccel if some default binding is provided but certainly not kwin ;-) 1616423 2 mgraesslin 2016-08-24 05:38:40 +0000 It toggles with appdashboard, so kicker and kickoff need to implement toggle. 1627114 3 cfeck 2016-09-25 01:38:17 +0000 *** Bug 369044 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1629732 4 peter 2016-10-05 11:13:02 +0000 After an upgrade to Plasma 5.8 on Arch Linux, I noticed that pressing Meta gives the Kickoff menu and indeed, pressing it again does not hide it. Previously one could already use Alt+F1 to toggle the menu. The new "Meta" shortcut gives: method call time=1475665148.784542 sender=:1.18 -> destination=org.kde.plasmashell serial=488 path=/PlasmaShell; interface=org.kde.PlasmaShell; member=activateLauncherMenu while the "Alt+F1" shortcut results in: signal time=1475665160.428196 sender=:1.14 -> destination=(null destination) serial=636 path=/component/plasmashell; interface=org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component; member=globalShortcutPressed string "plasmashell" string "activate widget 196" int64 3600500 For some reason the Meta binding also tends to disable itself after some activity. That is, after logging in, the Meta buttons shows the Kickoff menu. After "some activity" (nothing special, I don't know the trigger), the Meta button has no longer effect. Personally I will probably be disabling this Meta shortcut since it is used as modifier for many keybindings, just reporting it here in case it helps. FYI, the commit adding this feature is: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kwin.git&a=commitdiff&h=9b30cfef1d212ed2b40510a70d1f92c497f44398&hp=eed4bf32ae04ff445d4c542366b44b7b12a915a5 1632691 5 kde 2016-10-16 10:29:06 +0000 *** Bug 370721 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1633725 6 subdiff 2016-10-19 17:09:26 +0000 Git commit 65706d3878d556c7a1eac18984ec41b1a1d96d56 by Roman Gilg. Committed on 19/10/2016 at 16:51. Pushed by romangilg into branch 'master'. New bool to use activated signal as toggle of expanded The launcher applets couldn't be closed with Meta alone and on Wayland in general by any global shortcut, since we used for that the focusOutEvent triggered only on X and only on global shortcuts (on default Alt+F1). This patch introduces the new bool activationTogglesExpanded, which allowes QML applets to decide if they wish to use the activated signal also to end their expanded state. The default value is false, in order to not break any legacy applets.

As of right now, meta+{key} combos are captured properly and don't trigger bound shortcuts on the host, but a meta key press by itself causes the app launcher to pop up as well as triggering it on the remote system / vm. 1636299 9 mgraesslin 2016-10-29 14:35:11 +0000 (In reply to atmarx from comment #8) > As of right now, meta+{key} combos are captured properly and don't trigger > bound shortcuts on the host, but a meta key press by itself causes the app > launcher to pop up as well as triggering it on the remote system / vm. Please report a bug about that against product kwin 1638580 10 peter 2016-11-08 23:11:29 +0000 For future tracking: atmarx reported bug 371821 which covers this bug and the issue with the menu still opening even if an application grabbed it. The latter issue is tracked by bug 371877. 1639716 11 cfeck 2016-11-15 08:47:28 +0000 *** Bug 372477 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1639735 12 cfeck 2016-11-15 09:08:38 +0000 *** Bug 372356 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
