Committed on 04/08/2022 at 16:23. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Take active screen in account and remove shortcut requirement for activating launcher With the information about the active screen we can make an educated guess about where the attention of the user is and where they could expect the launcher to open. If on the screen no launcher could be activated, look at all launchers. Also remove the requirement for launchers to have a shortcut. This is needed to make this feature work reliably and should reduce the instances of "Meta key stopped working" happening in general.

Lowering priority. 2148633 14 agurenko 2022-08-27 18:24:54 +0000 (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #13) > With that change, losing the default Alt+F1 shortcut no longer has any > effect on whether the Meta key activates the widget, so this bug is mostly > limited to people who have customized the shortcut to be something else. > Lowering priority. Hm, kind of disagree here, I've just got fresh installation of Fedora 36, got all updates without logging in into the GUI and yet those does not work "out of the box"... That's on 5.25.4 + KF 5.97 2148658 15 nate 2022-08-27 20:58:04 +0000 Plasma 5.25.4 doesn't have the change that makes losing the default shortcut irrelevant to whether or not the Meta key opens Kickoff.

Sorry, my bad... 2164543 17 bharadwaj.raju777 2022-10-23 19:00:04 +0000 Closing since Meta activation no longer depends on Kickoff having Alt+F1. 2164544 18 nate 2022-10-23 19:01:30 +0000 That's true, but it's still a valid bug that it loses its shortcut--whatever it is. The user could set it to something else and that would be lost too. So this is still a valid bug IMO. 2164545 19 nate 2022-10-23 19:02:12 +0000 That said, I suspect the bug is related to what happens because of Bug 450068, so fixing that (which is planned for Plasma 5.27) might fix this too. Maybe. Hopefully! 2323055 20 qydwhotmail 2024-05-29 13:20:32 +0000 Fixed in 6.1
