Update to Plasma version 5.22.5 2. Have a button for the application launcher (Kickoff) or application menu (kicker) on your taskbar 3. Hit the Meta key (aka Windows key, the one between Ctrl and Alt on most keyboards). OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT The application menu or launcher should open upon pressing the Meta key. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.5-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION No changes have been made to the default key mapping. Reverting key mapping to defaults did not solve the problem. I also tried right-clicking the launcher/menu shortcut and opening its settings to manually change the keyboard shortcut. However, the dialog refuses to accept plain Meta as a keyboard shortcut. It expects a combination of two or more keys. (Sorry for opening this issue for version 5.22.4 instead of 5.22.5; that option is not available in the dialog) 2062298 1 matthias.schrumpf 2021-09-20 08:22:03 +0000 Additional information: I set a keyboard shortcut (Meta+<) for the application menu. Now it can also be opened by pressing Meta. Both the combination and the plain Meta key will open the menu. When I clear the keyboard shortcut, neither command will work. 2062880 2 nate 2021-09-21 21:50:13 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 391322 ***
