[kwin] [Bug 482235] New: No longer able to trigger desktop grid effect via screen edge corner action
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482235 Bug ID: 482235 Summary: No longer able to trigger desktop grid effect via screen edge corner action Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: effects-desktop-grid Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: colsen.s...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Prior to upgrading to Plasma 6.0, I was able to initiate the desktop grid effect via moving my pointer to a screen corner. After the upgrade, I am able to initiate the desktop grid effect via a keyboard shortcut (and the desktop grid itself works fine). But I'm no longer able to configure my screen edge actions to trigger the desktop grid effect. The options I have available for all eight screen edge/corner locations are as follows: No action Peek at Desktop Lock Screen Show KRunner Activity Manager Present Windows - All Desktops Present Windows - Current Desktop Present Windows - Current Application Overview Toggle window switching Toggle alternative window switching I would expect to see "Desktop Grid" within that list of options, but I don't. I've tried selecting "Overview", thinking that perhaps it would show a grid, but it does not. It seems to function in a nearly identical manner to "Present Windows - Current Desktop". These existing bugs seem like potential duplicates: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442518 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454102 However, they show as already being fixed. I am running on Plasma 6.0.0, KDE Neon 6.0, Qt Version 6.6.2, Kernel 6.5.0-21-generic, Wayland -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[kwin] [Bug 481985] Feature request: bring back "Walk through desktops" shortcut
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481985 --- Comment #1 from Sean Colsen --- Perhaps it's also worth mentioning that I see two other keyboard shortcuts titled "Switch to Next Desktop" and "Switch to Previous Desktop". I've tried enabling them, but they don't appear to do anything. I have a vague recollection that these keyboard shortcuts used to function in a manner where they would switch to the next/previous desktop in the order they are listed. That's not what I want. I want to be able to switch to the desktop I was previously on. I could be remembering incorrectly though. If there is an easy way to enable a one-shot shortcut to simply switch to the desktop I was previously on, I'd love to know how to do that! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481985 Bug ID: 481985 Summary: Feature request: bring back "Walk through desktops" shortcut Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: colsen.s...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- I see that in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3871 the desktop switching keyboard shortcuts were removed. I just upgraded to KDE 6 today and am crestfallen to discover that these keyboard shortcuts no longer work. This ticket is a desperate plea for you to please bring (at least some of) them back. Perhaps I am idiosyncratic, but I have been relying on heavily on the "Walk through desktops" keyboard shortcut for probably well over 10 years. I would venture to guess that I have been using this keyboard shortcut over 100 times every day. Seriously. I actually use it slightly MORE frequently than switching between windows. I'm front end web software engineer, and I organize my work into a grid of 9 desktops, most commonly making use of several desktops at a time. Without getting too into the weeds, I'll just say that "switching to the desktop that I was previously on" gives me a very convenient way to toggle between two groups of similar windows at a time, and that is tremendously helpful for my day-to-day tasks and the way my brain works. Often I have one desktop with Thunderbird, Matrix Element, GitHub, Basecamp (all the comms windows); and another with my code editor, terminal, browser, dev tools (my dev work). I toggle between those two desktops frequently. Then I might utilize a different desktop for a slightly more ephemeral task, say a small bit of research that requires several windows but will only take 2 hours. Then I'm often toggling between that desktop and my comms desktop or my dev desktop. I've tried using activities for this but it really doesn't work as well for me. I like to be able to visually group windows into similar types of tasks without having to give names to them. And I like to zoom out and see all my open windows at once using the desktop grid. Those things are harder with activities. Desktops feel lighter weight and easier for me to reason about. I am still able to use keyboard shortcuts to switch to a specific desktop or to switch to a desktop in a specific direction (e.g. "left"), but that doesn't allow me to toggle between two desktops. That's the important thing I'm missing. I desperately want a keyboard shortcut again that will take me to the desktop I was just on. It doesn't even need to have the "walk though" functionality. That is, I don't need to see a list switcher pop up to switch between any of my 9 desktops (because I can use the grid for that). I just want to go back to the one I was just on. Please please PLEASE!!! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
