Showing nothing

This happened to me, I fixed it my right clicking on the Kicker and:

  • selecting Configure Application Launcher,
  • in Keyboard Shortcuts add Meta + F1

now only pressing the meta (Windows) key opens the menu.

By default it should be META+F1 though

That’s weird, it happened to me once a while back, I had to set up the shortcut twice, once from the application launcher, once from KDE global shortcuts. KDE is weird sometimes.

Thanks, I didn’t look up what the default was and tried to do it from memory. It worked so I just left it.
