2. Press the Meta key.
3. Nothing happens.

Nothing happens when I press the Meta key.

I expect the Application Launcher menu to pop up when I press the Meta key.

KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0

Please go to [Right-click on Application Launcher] > Configure Application Launcher > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Do you see "Alt+F1" listed as the shortcut there?

Hi Nate

Yes, "Alt+F1" is shown here.

Thanks. Moving to Kwin, since IIRC Kwin is responsible for resolving the Alt+F1 shortcut to the meta key.
