SUMMARY Wayland commit: f64214e8b3254b658beb5e9ee31884c66611fde7 1) Open the overview effect (ctrl+w) 2) press meta short: Kickoff opens 3) press meta short: Kick off closes 4) press meta short 5) press meta long (hold it down for 1-2 seconds): Kickoff closes 6) release meta: Kickoff opens This is different to what I experience on the desktop and what I'd expect: Hitting meta acts on the desktop always like a toggle button, no matter how long it gets pressed down.
Can reproduce.
The problem appears to be that while the overview effect is open, Kickoff closes on META press instead of no META release. Its not like that normally - Kickoff both opens and closes on META release, which is what you need to actually have META shortcuts running: open Kickoff, then press META+W - overview opens, instead of Kickoff closing and eating the META key (see bug #464805 for how it shouldn't work). My question is why would Kickoff even open in the overview effect at all: it is almost not visible, let alone useful - it just shows in the small desktop previews. I would think that pressing META while in overview would escape out of overview (without changing the active window) before opening Kickoff.
Can still confirm in Plasma 6.0.0 (Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240225.n.0)
Is it actually intentional, that Meta opens Kickoff in the Overview at all?
