minus-squaresorghum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIs meta the official term for that key? I always called it the super key. Just curious
minus-squareLinearity@piefed.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoFrom what I can see online the key is actually called the super key, but for some reason KDE Plasma calls it Meta on my device Might be because I’m on a MacBook
minus-squareErr(()).unwrap()@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoOnly KDE calls it “meta”. Everywhere else it’s either “super” or “mod4”. The left Alt is sometimes called “meta” or “mod1”.
minus-squarefelbane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoIt’s not just kde, for example the backronym for Emacs is “esc meta alt ctrl shift”
