SUMMARY *** Win key is permanently assigned to Kicker and changing assignment to other function (like present windows) works only until restart. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE Assign Win key to Present Windows (Current Desktop). Reboot system. OBSERVED RESULT It works until I restart system . But even so when I go out of Present Windows view by pressing Win key again I still see menu closing. It is somehow activated anyway. After restart it doesn't show Present Windows at all but only opens Kicker. EXPECTED RESULT Should not be "hardcoded" so that any function can be assigned.

In the meantime until this is fixed (see the bug report I just marked this as a duplicate of) you can add > [ModifierOnlyShortcuts] > Meta=[dbus invocation of the thing you want it to do instead] To your kwinrc file. Obviously that's not very user-friendly, and fixing Bug 371560 will improve the situation a lot. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 371560 ***
Like this? [ModifierOnlyShortcuts] Meta=[dbus Toggle Present Windows (Current desktop)] Is it correct? I am not sure what is correct dbus command. In system settings I can't type Meta. When I press windows button it saves as some strange characters: https://i.imgur.com/fnhvqja.png
Yes that's a separate bug which is fixed in Plasma 6.
