Description Russell 2017-04-23 07:31:11 UTC
This is a >= 5.8 Plasma documentation only request to reflect a new feature. 

Link [1] below is the plasma documentation titled, "KDE Fundamentals" - "Common Keyboard Shortcuts".  I picked this page because it contains a special block pertaining to the Meta key.  It was also the page that came up when I did the original search.

In Plasma 5.8, the Meta (super/win) key will trigger the menu/launcher. Could the documentation be updated to:

1. Reflect plasma's new usage of the Meta key 
2. How to configure/disable the feature

Link [2] talks about the issue.
Link [3] talks about the new implementation in plasma.
Link [4] official announcement (Simplified Global Shortcuts)
Link [5] talks about how to disable

IE Configure:
  ~/.config/kwinrc
  [ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
  Meta=

https://phabricator.kde.org/D25341 will add the shortcut to the corresponding table.

As for the instructions to disable it, I believe that page of the documentation is not the right place to cover that. It is already covered in detail in https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Tips#Windows.2FMeta_Key
