Bug ID: 410177
Summary: Activate Application Launcher Widget shortcut secretly
also adds Meta hotkey
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.16.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_khotkeys

System Settings window
SUMMARY
When the Activate Application Launcher Widget shortcut is set to any hotkey,
the Meta key also activates the application launcher, even though it shouldn't.
Also, although the default hotkey is Alt-F1, the settings window shows that the
default is None.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE with a new user
2. Press the Meta key
3. This opens the bottom-left Application Launcher menu. But it shouldn't
because the hotkey is assigned to Alt-F1.
4. Use System Settings to unset the Activate Application Launcher Widget
shortcut. (See attached screenshot.)
5. Now the Meta key doesn't open the Application menu. (This is correct, but it
doesn't make sense that removing the Alt-F1 hotkey also removes a Meta hotkey.)
6. System Settings shows that the default hotkey is None, even though a fresh
KDE defaults to Alt-F1 (and secretly also Meta).
