Info on README.md about using it with meta key

[alexjp]

Hi,

I am using metakey only to invoke Parachute.
this can be done with:

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Parachute"
and
qdbus-qt5 org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure (qdbus-qt5 may be opensuse only, may be qdbus in other distros)

Maybe this can be included on the README.md ?

Thanks !

Yes, I'll do it. Thanks.

How would I unbind parachute from the meta key when I want to revert the commands above?

I think you can just invoke the same commands but instead of "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Parachute" write ""... Not sure though

That method did not work.

But manually editing that ~/.config/kwinrc file and deleting the line for binding the key under ModifierOnlyShortcuts did actually work!
Thanks for the suggestion :D

For me this one works for some minutes after booting into the system then it stops to work. Does anyone has an idea to solve this issue? Kind regards

edit: i'm on manjaro plasma 5.21 desktop btw

Okay fixed / worked around this issue.
Using ksuperkey and assiged that pressing meta key provkes the standard parachute keyboarshortcut.

ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Control_L|Super_L|D'

It is not working for me. I tried Meta+D, no response, I tried to remap it to only meta, not showing, I tried ksuperkey, not working either. Even when sending a qdbus signal directly, not showing. How to start finding the issue now? Any log to investigate?
BTW, Parachute is showing in the kwin scripts..
