    Hello,

    after I upgraded my system to Bookworm with newer KDE/Plasma, my Meta (Windows) key started making the application launcher pop up. I had it disabled before, although I do not remember how anymore. Now I can't
    find a way to make it not do that again. In the settings for the
    application launcher, the activation shortcut is unset.

    Any hints, please?

    Have a look at the official documentation [0].

    Basically you can run :
    kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta ""
    qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

    to revert to the previous behaviour.

    It's very annoying.

    I find it quite handy. :)

    Wow, thanks for a quick and helpful reply! The solution surprises me,
    as this is the first time in over a decade of using KDE that I had to
    edit a KDE configuration file - so far, everything I needed had a nice
    GUI in systemsettings.

    I guess this makes KDE on par with Windows, which needs a registry edit
    in order to achieve the same thing. :)

    It's very annoying.

    I find it quite handy. :)

    I'm sure it is if it's part of your workflow, and it's great that KDE
    added the feature! :)

    Regards,
