ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 navtojchahal 2019-10-20 19:30:45 UTC 
BEFORE 5.17 UPDATE:

1. Running "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel" outputs "/component/krunner".

2. Running "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/krunner org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut "run command"" opens KRunner.

AFTER 5.17 UPDATE:

1. Running "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel" outputs "/component/krunner_desktop".

2. Running "qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/krunner_desktop org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut "run command"" does NOT open KRunner.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2019-10-21 09:08:45 UTC 
org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/krunner_desktop,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut,_launch

or more directly

org.kde.krunner /App org.kde.krunner.App.display

In any case, there was never a UI to configure this option so it is not a kwin bug.
Comment 3 elman 2019-10-21 11:09:56 UTC 
I tried both of them before. They work from command line but don't work when configured as ModifierOnlyShortcut.

I tried

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/krunner_desktop,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut,_launch"

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.krunner,/App,,org.kde.krunner.App.display"

If this is not a bug of kwin, which component can I report it under?
Comment 4 elman 2019-10-21 11:12:04 UTC 
BTW I prefer kglobalaccel version because pressing Meta once opens krunner and pressing Meta second time closes krunner. The other version always opens krunner and you have to use Esc to close krunner.
Comment 5 elman 2019-10-21 11:28:38 UTC 
And one more thing. Remapping Meta key to Launcher menu works, so I guess it is an issue with krunner.
Comment 6 elman 2019-10-21 11:46:30 UTC 
And another one more thing :)

I managed to get it working with this config

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/krunner_desktop,,invokeShortcut,_launch"
