Description Gurenko Alex 2024-09-28 16:32:50 UTC
SUMMARY

shift+alt now opens Application Launcher but is not present in shortcuts configuration


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press "shift"+"alt"

OBSERVED RESULT

Application Launcher is opened and steals focus, minimizing fullscreen application (games for example)

EXPECTED RESULT

Nothing happens as it was in 6.1.5 or at least make it available somewhere (shortcut settings in Application Launcher or Global shortcuts settings) so it can be disabled

I’m not sure it’s the same issue as neither shift nor alt should be a key trigger on their own, no?
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2024-09-30 23:06:59 UTC
And yet when combined together, they become Meta. It's the same issue.
Comment 4 Gurenko Alex 2024-10-07 18:30:34 UTC
So, this ended up in 6.2.0 and breaks gaming as it minimizes the fullscreen app when triggered... :(

I don't think this bug is a duplication, it's clearly a new and different because it was not present on 6.1 or any previous Plasma version, Alt+Shift was never equals to Meta.

It's the same issue. We just managed to accidentally extend it to Alt+Shift in Plasma 6.2. It's being worked on right now.

...But we have pushed a workaround for Plasma 6.2, so re-duping to the bug report that tracks it.
