SUMMARY Turning on "Alt is swapped with Win" swaps them for some shortcuts but not others STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Bind something to a combination involving Meta or Alt (app launcher on Alt+F1 or krunner on Win+D in my case) 2. Enable "Alt is swapped with Win" OBSERVED RESULT krunner now opens when you press Alt+D instead of Meta+D, however, since the keys are swapped now, the shortcut still points to the same button. EXPECTED RESULT Shortcut continues to recognize the Win+D key sequence, however the Win key is now in the new location SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: NixOS Unstable KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3
The app launcher works correctly after a reboot, however, other shortcuts such as krunner still don't work
This received a bunch of work on Plasma 5.24 after being semi-broken-ish for a while, and is finally fixed now.
This is fixed for most shortcuts, however, the application launcher still opens when you press the "alt" key, and not the "win" key
So looks like the "fix" just inverted the bug - before it the application launcher was the only thing that did work, now it's the only thing that doesn't.
