This is a technical thing, application launcher shortcut is not set through the widget system.
Yeah this is a bit awkward. KWin has a special global shortcut that says "Activate whichever launcher menu is on the focused screen", which means each individual Application Launcher widget doesn't get its own shortcut. Which makes it look like it has no shortcut, and that's not true. Not really a bug, but rather a source of intentional awkwardness that could bear some UI improvement. Maybe the settings page needs to become aware of the KWin shortcut and reveal that, and indicate somehow that you can also set a separate, widget-specific shortcut if you want to.
Created attachment 185934 [details] Shortcuts - System Settings - 3 Application Launchers @Nate I went to Shortcuts - System Settings and I'm a bit confused, because here I found 3 entries calling "Activate Application Launcher (two of them have assigned shortcuts, where only one works: Meta). Please check attached screenshot.
"Activate Application Launcher is the KWin-provided thing, and there should be only one of them. If there's more than one, it might be a bug that was recently fixed. There will also be at least one "Activate Application Launcher *Widget*" item. That's created by the widget itself, and similarly you might have more than one, especially if you have more than one instance of this widget.
Same with "Minimize all windows" widget. When I press meta+d, nothing happens. Then I try to set such shortcut in the widget settings (the current shortcut is "None") and get this message: "Shortcut 'Meta+D' is already assigned to action 'Activate Minimize All Windows Widget' of plasmashell. Do you want to reassign it?" Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Graphics Platform: Wayland
