SUMMARY

Since KDE 4 I used to rebind the META key to launch Krunner. This worked also fine in Plasma 6.0.5 but since todays fedora update to 6.1 this is not working anymore.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Tried to reeanable with:
`kwriteconfig6 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/org_kde_krunner_desktop,invokeShortcut,_launch"`
2. restart

OBSERVED RESULT
Meta Key now doesnt do anything at all. Not even opening the Start Menu nor Krunner 

EXPECTED RESULT
Krunner opens on META key 

The ~/.config/kwinrc says:
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/org_kde_krunner_desktop,invokeShortcut,_launch


If I run it manually:
`qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/org_kde_krunner_desktop invokeShortcut _launch`
it works and krunner opens as expected. But no chance to bind it to just meta.

6.1 introduced proper support for modifier-only shortcuts. Can you try removing that fragment from kwinrc and setting the shortcut using the system settings? It works brilliantly here.
