Public bug reported: Alt-F4 Desktop KWin script not functioning in Kubuntu 25.10
I confirmed the script installed correctly and is enabled - through "Get New" in the Kubuntu App Store when in Settings -> Window Managment -> KWin Scripts Confirmed it is the Plasma 6 version from micha4w - by comparing the code that was installed locally at: /home/pcuser/.local/share/kwin/scripts/alt-f4-desktop/contents/code/main.js with the corresponding Github Repo at: https://github.com/micha4w/kde-alt-f4-desktop?tab=readme-ov-file Pressing Alt-F4 at desktop does nothing - The Alt-F4 KWin script fails silently I investigated this thoroughly for hours (as I was trying to find a workaround) and I believe the issue may stem from the way Plasma 6.4.5 and wayland / qt6 is not allowing workspace.activeWindow; (in .js) to return the variable .. and/or KWin script is not being called... For me this is the last thing that will make me completely hooked on Kubuntu - I am sure other users would feel the same way - The main selling point of Kubuntu is the keyboard shortcuts and behaviours of things for the meat-and-potatoes of the OS' GUI are the same as Microslop Windows so that years of muscle memory don't have to be retrained and there isn't resistance ditching Windows ;) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 25.10 Release: 25.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 25.10 Package: kubuntu-desktop 1.480 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.17.0-14.14-generic 6.17.9 Uname: Linux 6.17.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.33.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Mon Feb 16 01:42:02 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2026-02-06 (9 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 25.10 "Questing Quokka" - Release amd64 (20251007) SourcePackage: kubuntu-meta UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug questing wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2141872 Title: Alt-F4 Desktop KWin script not functioning in Kubuntu 25.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-meta/+bug/2141872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
