Hello,

I am a newbie using KDE Plasma Version 5.13.5 under kubuntu 18.10 since a few days. I always pressed meta key to open the Application Launcher but it's not working anymore.
Also I configured the left top corner to open the Application Launcher when I move with the mouse to the corner and this doesn't work too. The only option to open the Application Launcher is to click on the symbol on the panel.
This happened after I created a new Panel with Latte Dock.
The same thing happened the first time I installed Kubuntu after using it for some hours and then I installed kubuntu again and it worked until now.
The meta key is working fine with shortcuts.
It seems that the problem is not the meta key because the screen edge also doesn't work.

So what could be the problem here? I don't want to configure everything new again.

Latte Dock's FAQ has an answer for that: https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Doc ... p-launcher

Not sure what the deal is with the screen edge, though.

Hi airdrik!

I found the Latte Dock FAQ page before coming here for a solution and made the changes in KWin config file as suggested there. But the Meta key wouldn't still launch the application menu. I checked the config file, the configuration code is there. Also, I checked my keyboard - the key works fine in Windows. What could be causing this?

I wonder why would a piece of software mess with the DE's default key bindings and replace them with its own! Shouldn't they provide a disclaimer to the user before the software is installed?
