Bug ID: 474024
Summary: Binding META (only) to any widget
Classification: Plasma
Product: lattedock
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com
Reporter: tietini...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is possible with the Plasma integrated dock but not with Latte.
Procedure with the default dock:
TLDR:
1. Move any widget to any existing Panel
2. run `qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/plasmashell | grep -i shortcut`
to determine the namespace of `InvokeShortcut`
3. run `grep -i -B5 {widget_name_we_want_to_bind_meta_to}
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` to find out the widgets ID
4. run `kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts
--key Meta
"org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/plasmashell,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,activate
widget {widget_id_from_3}" followed by `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure`
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to bind e.g. "Activate Entry 1" to meta only

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
In Latte it looks like this:
Listing the available methods via qdbus delivers:
```
>>> qdbus org.kde.lattedock /Latte
method void org.kde.LatteDock.activateLauncherMenu()
method void org.kde.LatteDock.addView(uint containmentId, QString templateId)
method QStringList org.kde.LatteDock.contextMenuData(uint containmentId)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.duplicateView(uint containmentId)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.exportViewTemplate(uint containmentId)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.importLayoutFile(QString filepath, QString
suggestedLayoutName)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.moveViewToLayout(uint containmentId, QString
layoutName)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.quitApplication()
method void org.kde.LatteDock.removeView(uint containmentId)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.setAutostart(bool enabled)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.setBackgroundFromBroadcast(QString activity,
QString screenName, QString filename)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.setBroadcastedBackgroundsEnabled(QString
activity, QString screenName, bool enabled)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.showSettingsWindow(int page)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.switchToLayout(QString layout)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.toggleHiddenState(QString layoutName, QString
viewName, QString screenName, int screenEdge)
method void org.kde.LatteDock.updateDockItemBadge(QString identifier, QString
value)
method QStringList org.kde.LatteDock.viewTemplatesData()
method void org.kde.LatteDock.windowColorScheme(QString windowIdAndScheme)
signal void org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged(QString
interface_name, QVariantMap changed_properties, QStringList
invalidated_properties)
method QDBusVariant org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get(QString interface_name,
QString property_name)
method QVariantMap org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll(QString
interface_name)
method void org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set(QString interface_name, QString
property_name, QDBusVariant value)
method QString org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect()
method QString org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.GetMachineId()
method void org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping()
```
`activateLauncherMenu` seems to be there and claims to be activateable either
via checking the option in the configuration "Prress Meta to activate
Application Launcher" or alternatively by issuing the following command:
`kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta
"org.kde.lattedock,/Latte,org.kde.LatteDock,activateLauncherMenu"`.
Both do not seem to work. What does work on the plasma integrated Panel is the
procedure described at
https://zren.github.io/2019/03/04/activate-any-widget-with-meta-key.
