Cmd + Space launcher shortcut no longer working after upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04

[yaomtc]

Describe the bug I was using Ubuntu 20.04 with no issues with Kinto. Today, I've now upgraded to 22.04, and Cmd-Space no longer does anything.

Expected behavior Cmd+Space should bring up the GNOME application launcher.

Install Type: Bare Metal Distro: Ubuntu DE: Gnome Branch: master

Line 541 - ~/.config/kinto/kinto.py - aka make sure that Alt-F1 launches the gnome Application menu, if it no longer maps there then report back to where it is mapping and maybe we can confirm that and make an update? I don't really understand why they would change that.

...
define_keymap(lambda wm_class: wm_class.casefold() not in remotes,{
    K("RC-Shift-Left_Brace"):   K("C-Page_Up"),         # Tab nav: Go to prior (left) tab
    K("RC-Shift-Right_Brace"):  K("C-Page_Down"),       # Tab nav: Go to next (right) tab
    K("RC-Space"): K("Alt-F1"),                   # Default SL - Launch Application Menu (gnome/kde)
    K("RC-F3"):K("Super-d"),                      # Default SL - Show Desktop (gnome/kde,eos)

You can go into your settings and maybe check your shortcuts for your keyboard in the normal shortcuts area. The above is just to show you where and how Kinto remaps, it tries to make 0 system level shortcut changes and just goes by the expected defaults.

For some reason 'Search' had no keyboard shortcut associated with it. Not sure if that's a change Ubuntu made, or just something wrong on my system. Either way it's fixed now, I set it to Alt+F1.

Thanks @yaomtc - same problem here and was able to fix with this :beers:

You may notice that the “Search” shortcut is not a toggle, unlike the “Show the overview” shortcut, which brings up the same screen, or at least you can just start typing to perform exactly the same kind of search operation on the Overview screen. I think that’s why there is no default shortcut assigned. My Fedora system also had no shortcut for “Search”.
