All shortcuts disabled for the KRunner in the System Settings.

I can't unbind Meta+Space from the KRunner shortcuts.
Another guy on the Reddit has the same bug as me: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/dncy41/cant_unassign_winspace_from_krunner/.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open `System Settings` -> `Global Shortcuts` -> `Krunner`
2. Unbind all shortcuts with `File` -> `Set All Shortcuts To None`
3. Export shortcuts for the KRunner to the file.

OBSERVED RESULT
Exported file MUST NOT contain Meta+Space, still it does.
It looks like this after export:

[krunner.desktop][Global Shortcuts]
RunClipboard=none
_launch=; ; Meta+Space; Search



EXPECTED RESULT

No problem
Comment 4 Yaroslav Sidlovsky 2019-10-28 21:12:06 UTC
This bug looks very similar to this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413368 (at least to me).
Comment 5 Yaroslav Sidlovsky 2019-10-28 21:21:26 UTC
Just started /usr/lib64/kconf_update_bin/krunnerglobalshortcuts by hands and bug is gone... 🤔

And file with exported keybindings for KRunner looks like this:

[krunner.desktop][Global Shortcuts]
RunClipboard=none
_launch=Meta+R

Ok sorry I will try to remember in future.
Comment 8 Andy Great 2019-11-12 19:13:47 UTC
I can confirm this.
When I hold down meta + space, KRunner show up (the drop down windows)
Which it interfere with my shortcut to change keyboard layout.
I check to see if KRunner is using meta+space but in the keyboard setting, KRunner is not set to anything.

I've got exactly the same problem. Meta+Space for KRunner is default but there's not a way to change it. 

Did some search. Perhaps it has to do with this recent change? https://phabricator.kde.org/D24033

Comment 11 Nate Graham 2019-11-25 05:11:05 UTC
Yep, that's the change. Looks like it was me lol.

The problem here is that you can set any number of global shortcuts, but the Shortcuts KCM only displays the first two. I set Meta+Space as the third one, so it's not visible in the UI. As a workaround, you can remove the shortcut from the X-KDE-Shortcuts key of /usr/share/kglobalaccel/krunner.desktop.

The ultimate fix should be made in the Shortcuts KCM: if an action currently has more than two shortcuts bound to it, the 3rd and any additional shortcuts should be visible and unassignable in the UI. Marking this as a duplicate of the bug report tracking that issue.

Comment 12 Tareef Mando 2019-11-25 07:35:50 UTC
I deleted the shortcut from /usr/share/kglobalaccel/krunner.desktop, restarted the system, but nothing changed, pressing on Meta+Space still run the Krunner.
Comment 13 Jacob Li 2019-11-26 06:54:28 UTC
Per my test, Nate's workaround will work for newly created users.

For an existing user, I think they also need to modify $HOME/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc . I edited out all occurrences of Meta+Space in the [krunner.desktop] section, and the problem is fixed.
Comment 14 Tareef Mando 2019-11-26 07:02:43 UTC
Editing $HOME/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc too, solves the problem on my PC. Thanks.
Comment 15 Andy Great 2020-02-15 19:36:10 UTC
I upgrade my openSUSE Tumbleweed which upgrade KDE from 5.17 to 5.18 and this same bug come back after doing the work around.

Hello!
May I join in too???

Same error here.
Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.14.1

Editing $HOME/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc does not helped.
Running /usr/lib64/kconf_update_bin/krunnerglobalshortcuts rewrites the meta+space parts.

What else needs to be changed?

Thanks:

Comment 17 Kirill Berezin 2020-03-17 12:02:43 UTC
sudo rm /usr/bin/krunner

Fixes it for me after each reboot. But this isn't serious. When its going to be fixed?
