To imitate some GNOME workflows etc., it would be essential to have support for some general things. I go to systemsettings and try to define a specific key combination. When entering "Super Super" for example some cryptic symbol combination appears in the input field, instead of "Meta+Meta". When entering something like "Fn+something" the Fn is not shown at all. I dont know if this is some lowlevel issue but it causes a lot of key combos (like the double meta for things like krunner or the overview) to not work. I know that "meta" alone is also not possible to assign at least through the GUI. OS: Fedora Linux 39.20240206.0 (Kinoite) KDE Plasma: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks: 5.113.0 Qt: 5.15.12 Kernel: 6.6.14-200.fc39.x86_64 Compositor: wayland
We can't do much about the Fn+Key part -- pressing the fn key does not send a keypress to the OS (with the exception of apple macs); it just reinterprets the key presses.
In plasma 6 wayland I can correctly assign Meta as a shortcut in system settings. But currently in system settings assigning multi-key shortcuts is not supported, perhaps that is what you want to change?
no, in 5.27 just meta doesnt work, so this is a nice change. Not sure about multiple presses, Meta+Meta for example. Okay understood the Fn part. This is entirely firmware then?
Please don't submit one bug report that requests a bunch of things. We need multiple bug reports if you want to request multiple changes, even if they seem related. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket

Can't reproduce on plasma 6 wayland -- this definitely should work if the shortcut is configured to allow modifier only sequences
(In reply to fanzhuyifan from comment #7) > Can't reproduce on plasma 6 wayland -- this definitely should work if the > shortcut is configured to allow modifier only sequences Actually can confirm. I can assign the Meta key as shortcut in system settings, but it doesn't actually get triggered. Other single modifiers, like Ctrl/Alt work. Arch source build, plasma 6, wayland.
Are you sure it's not just conflicting with KWin's ModifierOnlyShortcut functionality? You might have to set that to none before Meta will work as a sole shortcut. See Bug 371560.
