Meta Key/Super Key not working in KDE

The Meta/Super key does not work in KDE. Everytime i press it, it doesn’t open the KDE application launcher. I have set the application launcher keybind to “Alt+F1” but that also does not fix this issue. The super key works fine when I reboot into Windows

It works fine on mine.

Edit: On my install Alt + F1 is already enabled in KDE. Meta key works from the installed system. So i don’t know what the issue is unless you have made changes.

Setting it to Alt+F1 in the launcher settings should work.

Which launcher are you using?

What keyboard are you using, and are the keyboard-layout settings set accordingly?

I am not sure, I am using a default laptop keyboard. How do I check keyboard-layout settings?

You can check and change your keyboard settings here

Multiple ways, as usual on linux. First thing, go to kb-settings in KDE settings manager, or whatever that darn thing is named. From there, move on to the Layouts tab…

Another way would be installing a virtual keyboard (don’t know what it’s named in KDE) and compare that virtual kb-layout to your real kb.

A third, more comprehensive way (as always) would be consulting the Arch-Wiki.
