SUMMARY The Meta key stops working if i execute `plasmashell --replace` The application launcher won't open and none of Meta+1 shortcuts do anything on the taskbar. If i use `kquitapp6 plasmashell && kstart plasmashell` however meta key works as usual Sorry if this is not a bug but i couldn't find anywhere stating that this is intentional. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. run `plasmashell --replace` from terminal OBSERVED RESULT Meta key stops working EXPECTED RESULT Meta key works or documentation clears this up Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.10-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Thanks for the bug report! Another report on the same issue was filed later, but in a more appropriate place and is already marked as confirmed, so I'm marking this one as a duplicate of that for simplicity. Please follow that report for updates on a fix. For a comment on that report, Meta is supposed to still work if `systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service` is used instead of `plasmashell --replace`, which may be a workaround until the issue is fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 493200 ***
