Description Tristan Lins 2020-04-30 15:56:37 UTC
I use a hidden dock and whant to show the dock with meta key.
The solution "Can I use my super key to open the app launcher?" from the wiki is not what I wanted. I want to show the dock, not the app launcher - I dont have an app launcher in my latte dock. For launching apps I use the krunner with Alt+Space.

But I could not found any method on the dbus to show a hidden dock.
An option to show a hidden dock with meta key only would be nice.

did you try to go to Plasma Systemsettings->Global Shortcuts->Latte Dock->Show Latte Dock/Panel ?
Comment 2 Tristan Lins 2020-04-30 16:15:45 UTC
Yes but I cannot assign only meta key as shortcut. Currently I assigned meta+space as workaround.

From the example in the wiki (https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/wiki/F.A.Q.#q-can-i-use-my-super-key-to-open-the-app-launcher) I assume the meta only shortcut has a specially treated by kwin.

Do you have in Behavior advanced page, Actions, Prefer this view for global shortcuts based on position?

Behavior Settings View

Does not look like this.
But "Activate based on position through global shortcuts".

By holding the meta button I can bring the latte dock to the front. I find that very "uncomfortable". I just want to tap once and don't have to wait.

btw I upgraded to fedora 32 and latte dock was updated in version 0.9.10

sorry but I am not interested for any addition concerning this.
