SUMMARY After upgrading from Plasma Mobile 5 to 6, the super-key now only works on the home screen. OBSERVED RESULT When pressing the super-key with any window open, nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT In Plasma Mobile 5, pressing the super-key would open the app drawer, which was extremely convenient for opening applications. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: postmarketOS Edge (updated 2024-03-08) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Without this super-key shortcut, there is no quick way to open the app-drawer or go to the home screen without the Plasma-button on the bottom panel (which would be disabled in gesture only mode). As a workaround, one can use Alt+F2 and use the run menu to start applications. If the attached keyboard even has an F2-key that is.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-mobile/-/merge_requests/468
Fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-mobile/-/merge_requests/468, will be in Plasma 6.0.2
