Bug ID: 364227 Summary: The Super (Windows) key should launch Kickoff, like most other DEs Product: plasmashell Version: 5.6.4 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org I'm running KDE Frameworks 5.22.0 & QT 5.5.1 from the KDE backport PPA on Kubuntu 16.04. Switching to KDE after using Gnome, Unity, or Windows is pretty jarring because the Super (Windows) key does nothing. In all those modern DEs, it opens the application list/launcher. In KDE to start the Application Launcher (Kickoff) I have to learn to press Alt+F1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Super key Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: The Super (Windows) key should open the application launcher as Alt+F1 does. The Super key seems generally unused in KDE. I tried the workaround of configuring this, Right-click > Application Launcher Settings... > Keyboard shortcuts, but pressing Super just shows Meta+..., awaiting another key. I don't want to press a key combination, again I just want it to work like other desktop environments. Maybe it could be a separate checkbox: [ ] Pressing Super (Windows) key activates Application Launcher. Thanks for all you do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
