example of keyboard shortcuts
SUMMARY
I have several virtual desktops. When I set a keyboard shortcut to move the
focussed window to an adjacent virtual desktop, the window moves and the view
follows (meaning that I end up on the target desktop). However, when I set a
keyboard shortcut to send the focussed window to a numbered desktop, the window
is sent there, but the view remains on the original desktop and does not follow
the window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Provided you have several virtual desktops (otherwise create some first).
1. Open systemsettings5, navigate to Keybindings > KWin
2. Set some keybindings to Move Window to Desktop 2 (or any other numbered
desktop) (the English translation may differ).
3. Go to desktop 1, focus a window and perform the keybinding.
OBSERVED RESULT
The window is sent successfully to the given numbered desktop (e.g. desktop 2),
but the view remains on the original desktop (e.g. desktop 1).
EXPECTED RESULT
The view should follow the window.
Hence the current implementation is not consistent with the behaviour of
sending windows to adjacent virtual desktops, where the view does indeed follow
the window in its journey towards another desktop.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 with enabled official KDE backports ppa (hence
newest stable plasma).
KDE Plasma Version: plasmashell 5.23.2
SCREENSHOT
But I set Meta+Shift+Right to move the window to the next (adjacent) desktop,
and Alt+" (i.e. Alt+Shift+2) to move to the numbered desktop. They behave
differently, and that's annoying.
PS: The screenshot is in French (I sadly don't know how to launch the whole
menu to English).
