In my case the attribution of screens is the other way around, the external monitor, has been automatically afaik, assigned as primary. It seems legit since I never use the laptop screen. Laptop monitor is TN 1366x768, external monitor is 4K, IPS. In any case I won't try high risk experiment consisting in unplugging external monitor, or changing primary attribute. The prospect of having to spend hours to fix it is way too scary. > On several machines the shortcut that binds the app menu (using the full > screen app launcher) to the "Windows" key was unbinded.

My keyboard must be very very old because it doesn't have a windows key, viz no meta key neither. I do and have done Alt + F1 from day one. I've assigned Alt+F11 to overview. Generally Kwin/Wayland experience is the most awesome.
