Bug ID: 400282
Summary: I downloaded an alternative launcher (excalibur) from
the download new widgets thing, it was apparently the
wrong version and broke the launcher, I could no
longer interact with it except to delete the widget.
So I deleted the widget and replaced it with
Product: krunner
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Component: general

SUMMARY
I downloaded an alternative launcher (excalibur) from the download new widgets
thing, it was apparently the wrong version and broke the launcher, I could no
longer interact with it except to delete the widget. So I deleted the widget
and replaced it with the default launcher KDE comes with.
That worked except now my meta (windows) key no longer opens the launcher, and
I can't set it as a shortcut for the launcher because KDE doesn't allow me to
do that.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install new plasma widget (excalibur version without p59-whatever in the
name)
2. Right click current launcher -> Alternatives -> select excalibur
3. It breaks the launcher and doesn't work
4. Remove the launcher from taskbar
5. Replace with new default launcher widget
6. Meta key no longer opens the start menu
7. Consider reinstalling your entire OS because of how often you use the meta
key to open the launcher
OBSERVED RESULT
META KEY DONT WORK!!!!
EXPECTED RESULT
IT SHOULD WORK
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.49.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This could've been solved if KDE had a way to re-assign the meta key instead of
hardcoding it to a single widget and preventing you from ever re-assigning it
to anything ever again.
