Hello!
I upgraded xorg to 1.18 and during that process also enabled
USE=wayland. However, I don't run a wayland session (this actually
doesn't seem to work with nvidia). I use sddm as the login manager, and
I'm running latest plasma 5.7. The system is booted with systemd.
I just came accross the following phenomenon: Hitting Alt+F2 should
bring up krunner but instead now it switches to console 2. This was
previously only possible with Ctrl+Alt+F2.
Any clues?

I'm on xorg 1.18.4 and plasma-meta 5.7.5 but no wayland, and Alt-F2 works as
it should. No systemd here though.
Sorry I can't help, other than suggesting the keyboard shortcuts control
panel, which I'm sure you'll already have checked.

I found that I should put "-keeptty" to the startup options of xorg in
sddm.conf (by looking at Xorg.0.log). It looks like this was changed by
either Gentoo or Xorg/SDDM/Plasma maintainers due to an incompatibility
to systems not using systemd.
After reboot it worked as intended.
With this option enabled on non-systemd systems, this leaves you with
an unusable box in case Xorg doesn't start because the tty will
then be blocked - leaving you with only the options: hard-reboot or
ssh into the box.

I'm glad you mentioned Xorg.0.log; it prompted me to look at mine, and I
found I didn't have an fbdev driver. I found I needed to add USE=evdev to
dev-qt/qtgui and remerge qtgui.
That ought to have been picked up from INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in make.conf.
Looks like a bug.
I think this should fix the flickering display I mentioned a few days ago.
Have to wait and see.

Not funny, not at all.

Nope. It hasn't.

For me neither:
Alt+Fn still switches to the console... But only after running the
system for some hours. Not sure what triggers it. Energy saving mode is
currently off. So that's not the trigger.
If I boot freshly, the shortcut works as intended and brings up
krunner.
When the bug triggered and I switch back from console, I apparently
also see flickering sometimes at the left side with some oddly shaped
vectors inside. Plus some window contents are simply black (only title
bar visible). It stops after a few seconds.
