Plasma "Suspend Compositing" doesn't work

Plasma has hotkey for suspend compositing, Alt+Shift+F12, and it also has rules for windows, both of this doesn't work. I can suspend compositing with

qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor suspend 

and resume with

 qdbus org.kde.KWin /Compositor resume 

but I don't have something like this

 qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin toggleCompositing 

which, if I understand right, should be used with Alt+Shift+F12. So why I don't have it? Or it use something else? Anyway, it's not working to me, I can show logs if needed(but I don't know what kind of logs needed)

After 5.6 update window rules start working... But Alt+Shift+F12 still doesn't. Don't need it anyway

Are you sure it's ctrl+alt+F12? Not on linux atm, but I think it was alt+F12

edit: actually, it's shift+alt+F12

Re: Plasma "Suspend Compositing" doesn't work

Yes, it is defiantly Alt + Shift + F12. Hence it is possible to reconfigure hotkeys this issue is probably just caused by your configuration.

However, when suspend the compositor while using the proprietary NVIDIA driver, all bars and applets aren't updated anymore and hence the desktop environment is not usable anymore. But I think that's another problem.
