How to make app launcher ignore hotkey?

Hi,

I’m trying to have 2 different types of application launcher widgets on 2 separate panels on the same screen, but I only want a specific one to activate when I press the shortcut/hotkey (Meta). The other I only want to activate when I click on it or use a separate hotkey. So I either need a way to make one of the launchers ignore the hotkey, or some way to prioritize one over the other.

If additional context is needed, my overall goal is to have a MacOS-ish setup with a thin panel on the top, and a thick, mostly-icons panel on the bottom. I want the bottom panel to have the primary app launcher which activates with the Meta key, and on the top panel a fullscreen app dashboard that only opens from clicking.

In System Settings, remove the Meta keybinding for application launcher.

Then right click on the launcher you want to be triggered by Meta and select Configure Launcher and then set the Meta keybinding there.
