--- Comment #18 from Blazer Silving <[email protected]> ---
I've kept the code updated and ready for anyone to build on local kwin, but yes
there has been some pushback upstream. I'll try to summarize. 

----

>From what I understand, the concern from maintainers are over global navigation
shortcuts (Ctrl+Meta+Up/Down/Left/Right): the frame of reference changes with
the Desktop Grid View being de-coupled from the global layout. As it were, this
is kind of the point of the MR, and it works without additional handling. I
explain it in this comment specifically: 
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6922#note_1258983. 

That's where we're at. The change essentially goes against the designed 6.x
behavior, where I (and I suppose most of y'all) preferred the 5.x Grid
behavior. I've not-so-subtly tried to push for reconsideration on the developer
Matrix channels, but I've worn out my welcome with this and other Overview
proposals. 

The maintainers have been proactively bumping old work this week, so I reached
out again today on Matrix to kindly ask what it would take to satisfy the
concern on the nav shortcuts/gestures. Nate jumped in to spruce up a few things
on the ticket, but we need to clear the logic with those that wrote it in the
first place, or it will never fly. 

----

The rest of the ticket conversation is bikeshedding over the user-facing option
and can be skipped. I would strongly prefer to configure this as an on/off
checkbox option, but the overwhelming response from the design team is to use
radio buttons, which introduced some code complexity to handle them. At this
point the label can be anything, I'd just like to clear the actual code change
with the team.
