Description Guido 2024-05-26 10:51:15 UTC

In the past I used this:

[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Alt=org.kde.krunner,/App,,displaySingleRunner,krunner_appmenu

in kwinrc to have krunner invocation with only the krunner_appmenu plugin

With kwin 6.0.90.1 this no longer works, so I created the shortcut for

qdbus org.kde.krunner /App displaySingleRunner krunner_appmenu

and it works.

The problem is that if that shortcut is just 'Alt' then I cannot use Alt+something for other purposes, because krunner_appmenu plugin starts immediately and for example I cannot use alt+f2 to start the full krunner, or other alt+ shortcut.

Previously, on the other hand, pressing alt was a small pause that allowed alt+something combinations to be used quietly.

p.s. I tried 

sleep .8; qdbus org.kde.krunner /App displaySingleRunner krunner_appmenu

but still it seems to keep opening krunner immediately without the possibility of using other combinations.

Is this on wayland or on x11? 

Could you record the key events via evtest and upload those? If you could also open kwin debug console (search for that in krunner) and go to input events, that would helpful as well. Ideally a screen recording would be great. Thanks!

Fwiw the modifier-only shortcuts trigger on release of the modifier, not press. I personally cannot reproduce the issue on either wayland or x11, git master.
