Bug ID: 416707
Summary: Virtual desktop wrap-around doesn't work for qdbus
org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop
Product: kwin
Version: 5.17.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: raitarohik...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
There are shortcuts to switch to the next/prev virtual desktop. Those are:
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.previousDesktop
The problem is that running these in a terminal or calling them from sxhkd for
example does not allow wrapping around of desktops, say 1-2-3-4-1 doesn't work
and I am stuck at 1.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. go to the last desktop
2. in a terminal run `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop`
3. make sure the setting to wrap around desktops is enabled (in the Virtual
Desktops settings)
4. nothing happens when command is entered. Going to desktop 1 doesn't work,
going back to previous does work, unless is run on first desktop in which case
it won't wrap to last.
OBSERVED RESULT
Virtual desktop wrapping doesn't work if the above qdbus commands are used. On
the other hand if the shortcuts from Global Shortcuts > Kwin are used then
everything is totally fine and works as expected.
On that note, invoking the shortcut with qdbus like this instead, does work:
qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin
org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut 'Switch to Next Desktop'
EXPECTED RESULT
qdbus commands should act the same way as the global shortcuts/invoke shortcut
command.
