Description Julian Groß 2024-03-08 13:00:25 UTC

SUMMARY
After upgrading from Plasma Mobile 5 to 6, the super-key now only works on the home screen.

OBSERVED RESULT
When pressing the super-key with any window open, nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
In Plasma Mobile 5, pressing the super-key would open the app drawer, which was extremely convenient for opening applications.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: postmarketOS Edge (updated 2024-03-08)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Without this super-key shortcut, there is no quick way to open the app-drawer or go to the home screen without the Plasma-button on the bottom panel (which would be disabled in gesture only mode).
As a workaround, one can use Alt+F2 and use the run menu to start applications. If the attached keyboard even has an F2-key that is.
