I have KDE. I want to use the left Win key for switching keyboard layout.
However after the setup it works but it also causes the Application Launcher pop-up.
How can I disable this?

In short:

Put

Meta=

in ~/.config/kwinrc

Logout and login. After that the Windows key only switched the keyboard layout. The Application Launcher didn't pop-up.
