  1. Setting Meta+A as a keyboard shortcut and then Meta works without the +A?Thay certainly is a trick.Last time I encountered this issue, my solution was to remove the panel then add a new Default Panel. Though that was prior to 2016, and I’ve had no trouble since.

    1. I know it sounds strange, but since neither KDE out gnome allows you to assign a single key, this combo was the solution.
