Meta key no longer opens Aplication Launcher after update to plasma 6

I use Garuda dragonized after update to plasma 6 the shortcut of Meta key to open Aplication Launcher stopped working. Tried both on Wayland and Xorg. I had to change the top bar after update as I used the Latte Dock, and in settings I’ve change the shortcut to be Meta.

Hi there, welcome to the forum.
Have you tried this? (an older migration but that part should be still applicable)
https://wiki.garudalinux.org/en/dr460nized-migration
Meta (super) key binding to launch Application Launcher section

Go in ~/.config/kwinrc
Edit the same section as above for the following
[ModifierOnlyShortcuts]
Meta=org.kde.plasmashell,/PlasmaShell,org.kde.PlasmaShell,activateLauncherMenu
Logout and log back in

And also remember that this symbol means that a reboot is pending (just in case…)

Thank you very much this migration was the problem!
