And that’s precisely why the Overview does not open: the SUPER key is ignored when the Applications menu is open.

… so I believe neither of these will work.

Last time we had a similar issue (Bug #11401), it was caused by one of our hacks that clicked in the wrong place and opened the Applications menu as a result. I suspect it’s the same here. Can you please attach the debug log and video?

I’ve noticed another source of fragility here: sometimes the Overview opens just fine, we type our query (in my case, “Disks”) but there’s no search results. Looking at the Journal, I notice that starting to type a search query in the Overview triggers the startup of a number of DBus services (org.gnome.ControlCenter.SearchProvider, org.gnome.Nautilus, org.gnome.Calculator.SearchProvider, org.gnome.seahorse.Application). It looks like there’s a bug in GNOME Shell here.

One year later, I’m giving up.

The video shows that we’ve successfully cleared all notifications but the Overview does not open.
We’ve pressed SUPER only 60ms after we’ve pressed ESC, which I think was too early: when the notifications menu is open, pressing SUPER does not open the Overview. I’ll add a sleep somewhere as a workaround.
