"Present Windows" effect lost ability to bind keys to modi in Plasma 6.4
After upgrading to Plasma 6.4, my key shortcuts for the different Present
Windows modi were dysfunctional. It was really confusing to find out the whole
effect entry got deleted from the list and all that was left was the Overview
effect, which is for casual notebook users IMHO. I wasn’t able to find this
mentioned in the release notes. Thank god the effect modi are still available
as screen corner action.
I really, really hope you don’t consider also removing this! Being able to
present windows from all desktops, only from my current desktop, or from my
current window class is an integral part of my workstation workflow and has
been since the Compiz era in the mid-00s. Compiz and Kwin have inherited this
very useful feature from Mac OS X Exposé. You *have* to use this when you are
working with lots of different multimedia tools, open file manager windows and
browser windows, even more so with lots of workspaces. Not everyone is typing
their whole day along inside a code editor.
I suggest re-adding these effect modi as a configurable keyboard shortcut to
the Overview entry in the effects list:
Toggle Present Windows (All desktops)
Toggle Present windows (Current desktop)
Toggle Present windows (Window class)
Toggle Present Windows (Window class on current desktop)
