Description poperigby 2022-06-06 06:12:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have the shortcut for `Toggle Overview` set to `Meta + W` (the default) in `Shortcuts -> Kwin`. I can toggle overview with this shortcut, but overview is also toggling with just `Meta`.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press `Meta`

OBSERVED RESULT
Overview is toggled.

EXPECTED RESULT
Overview isn't toggled.

I had a feeling. You or someone/something else manually added those lines to the kwinrc file, and they make the Overview open when the Meta key is pressed. To make it stop doing that, remove those lines.

That fixes it, thanks! The weird thing is, I definitely never manually edited that, and I'm not sure what would have changed it.

You may not have, but it's possible a piece of software on your system did it automatically. Regardless, we don't do this in KDE code, so it's not a KDE bug. :)
