Description Jin Liu 2021-11-18 04:00:10 UTC

SUMMARY
In the "overview" effect, Pressing the default hotkey (Ctrl-Meta-D) again ends the effect. (The same behavior as in "present windows" and "desktop grid") However, if I change the hotkey to Meta-Q, pressing it again in the effect doesn't end the effect. Instead a "q" is entered in the search box.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable "overview" effect.
2. Change the hotkey to Meta-Q.
3. Press Meta-Q to enter overview.
4. Press Meta-Q again.

OBSERVED RESULT
A "q" appears in the search box.

EXPECTED RESULT
The effect ends.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Jin Liu 2021-11-19 04:14:57 UTC

The problem disappears after reboot. It only occurs between shortcut change and reboot.

Comment 2 Jin Liu 2021-11-19 04:44:54 UTC

Seems it's not about default/non-default hotkey. When I change the hotkey to Meta-Q and reboot, pressing Meta-Q twice works. Then I change the hotkey back to the default Ctrl-Meta-D, then pressing Ctrl-Meta-D twice doesn't work.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-11-22 16:24:38 UTC

Seems to be fixed in the git master version; It's working for me now with Meta+W uses to activate it. I can press that twice to both activate and close it.

Comment 4 Jin Liu 2021-11-24 05:42:08 UTC

I can reproduce it in the lastest Neon docker image:
https://hub.docker.com/layers/kdeneon/plasma/unstable/images/sha256-87c661b4a39bdeb66b1bd27e888e658c954518c21a33e2e182b868c141dcefc8?context=explore
Assume it's quite close to the git master?

Steps:
1. Run neondocker.
2. Open systemsettings.
3. In display settings, re-enable OpenGL detection.
4. In "Desktop Effects", Enable the Overview effect.
5. Press the default hotkey Ctrl-Meta-D twice. Works.
6. In "Desktop Effects" - "Overview", Change the "Global" hotkey to Meta-M.
7. Press Meta-M twice. A "m" appears in the search box.

Comment 5 Jin Liu 2021-11-24 05:43:34 UTC

Sorry. Missing a step in last comment:
3.5: Press Alt-Shift-F12 to enable composition.

Comment 6 Jin Liu 2022-01-14 05:59:40 UTC

Tested in 5.24 beta, in both X and Wayland session. Still the same problem: The hotkey settings when boot up works OK. But if you change to another hotkey, it won't work (pressing twice) until the next reboot.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2022-01-14 17:09:36 UTC

Can confirm that.

Comment 8 fanzhuyifan 2024-08-12 05:59:54 UTC

Cannot reproduce on git master (6.1.80), wayland, arch linux. After assigning a shortcut to overview, pressing it twice opens and then closes overview.

Note that BUG 491123 tracks the issue specific to x11.

Can you still reproduce this on plasma 6.1?

Can't reproduce in 6.1.4, both Wayland and X11.
