If you didn't tried that already you can try to run the application launcher manually
rofi -terminal 'foot' -show combi -combi-modes drun
Yes, that does work but it pops up a new window - what I would prefer is what I had before - I think it must be a WayBar feature? - I will look into that . .
You can find more info in /etc/sway/config, however if you already have your configuration which is stored in ~/.config/sway/config than the /etc/sway/config is not used and you need to add your binding to your configuration.
If I can't get back what I had before, at least this is a work-around.
Thanks!

I have not had a chance to try out the ISO, just following the list out of curiosity, but based on your earlier description you were probably using either dmenu or bemenu.
YES! - you are correct! - neither was installed and as soon I installed dmenu, Win-d started working - I will also investigate bemenu and configs etc - thanks!
It's not a feature of waybar, and it is spawning a new window of sorts, just in the shape of a bar at the top of the screen overlapping with your panel.
Interesting! - I have never come across anything like that in the pre-Sway Dark Ages . .
If the key combo to launch it is not working, the program could be missing or the keybind in the config could be missing, but on a fresh ISO that should be pre-configured, that does sound odd.
Happy to keep testing if there is an issue with the current ISO or if people want to create new ones for testing . .
It sounds like you can get a terminal open at least, so you could check if dmenu or bemenu are installed and take a look at the Sway config file to see what's wrong.
Oh after the clean install from the LiveUSB I got back almost straight away to my full operation mode with 10 virtual desktops, kitty, ranger etc etc - I just couldn't work out the Win-d thing . .
It's also possible rofi has a mode that looks like dmenu depending on the arguments you give it, but I don't remember if this is the case.
When I saw rofi pop up during the install to hard disk, I did think that maybe that had been an upgrade and while that might be convenient for some situations, I really wanted the one line CLI . .
Thanks again! - I learn a bit more . . I love Sway . .
