Budgie Menu Delete

dostana

i got budgie menu applet deleted from the panel the access to super key functionality got disabled. Is this normal? I thought solus on installation sets super key defaulted on laptop even if applet deleted the super key functionality remains permanent. But it isn't? Is it a bug or system design, it is as it is. I had to reinstall again. 😅
Can anybody shed some light ? If there is a way to access application sets via short keys

What do you mean? I just removed Budgie menu as a test and all super key functions still work
edit: Or did you mean that you couldn't access the menu with the Super key after you deleted it? In that case: duh!
You didn't have to reinstall though. Simply pressing ALT+F2, entering "Budgie Settings" and then adding the menu applet again would've sufficed.

Staudey Simply pressing ALT+F2, entering "Budgie Settings" and then adding the menu applet again would've sufficed.

You can also right click on your background and choose "Budgie Desktop Settings" as of Budgie 10.5.2 as well 😉

Staudey okay, i didn't know. thanks guys. Just for curiosity, Is the super key functionality change with delete of an applet? I'm not a programmer, just questioning to answer my own experience.
Is super key functionality change with the removal of budgie applet? If the menu button on menu bar is for access only to main menu, Super Key is sufficed, why have a applet just for access. One can save space in menu bar. Secondly print button cannot take screenshot if budgie menu button is pressed ( shown list down application is active) for a screenshot. But the same process of print screenshot works if budgie menu is unpressed. Is that normal? I am not bugging but just curious.!

I tested again by removing the budgie menu applet, the super key function doesn't work to access application list. Unless i use ALT+F2 to access budgie setting and add the applet. I am sure what i am saying. 😀

The super button invokes the panel DBus proxy with the panel action being MENU. If an applet / widget sets supported_actions to be Budgie.PanelAction.MENU, then it can be invoked. This is the case with Budgie Menu.

BudgiePopovers, which are used by many applets including Budgie Menu, capture keyboard input when they are open, so actions like taking a screenshot using the keyboard shortcuts, or randomly switching keyboard layout with the menu open, aren't going to work. This isn't a bug.
