Description Thiago Sueto 2021-12-03 20:20:07 UTC
SUMMARY
I made the effect run upon pressing Meta with kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,,invokeShortcut,Overview".

When running it this way, the search field doesn't get focus by default. I assume this is what causes the search to hang for a split second before getting focus, so if I type immediately after enabling the effect, sometimes one letter gets repeated, kinda similar to a longstanding KRunner bug that was long fixed already.

Interestingly enough, this is the case when the overview gets activated via the default keyboard shortcut too. The difference is that the search field gets focus immediately after either Ctrl or Alt is released, so the hang doesn't manifest.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,,invokeShortcut,Overview"
2. qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure (might be just qdbus depending on distro)
3. Press Meta
4. Immediately type something (e.g. Firefox)

I'm having the same problem: I attached the meta key to the overview with this command:
$ kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Overview"
$ qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

However, the first letter gets repeated only the first time I use the overview search field after booting. The following searches work just fine.

Ok. We fixed a lot of focus-related things in recently. Can you try again with Plasma 5.25.2 (which was just released today)?

I'll wait for Manjaro to push 5.25 (.3 I guess), I don't have time and energy right now to fire up 25.2 ;) Thank you for the answer
