Hi All,
I just updated to Plasma 6. I noticed that after upgrade I'm unable to walk through desktops using Meta+Tab / Meta+Shift+Tab.
It was working before. I looked at System Settings → Shortcuts → Kwin → Walk Through Desktops, and cleared the shortcut and set it to Meta+Tab. Never worked.
Most of my other keyboard shortcuts work (Meta + 1, etc)
Thanks in advance,
GI

Hi gi1242,
I have exatly the same problem (funnily enough, I also set the same exact shortcuts as you).
However, it looks like it is something related to Plasma, not to Arch.
Indeed, on a fresh installation of KDE Neon, it looks like that options (Walk through desktops) is missing: https://imgur.com/XzXWfSZ
So, I don't think there is anything Arch can do. We can try to look on the bug tracker of KDE.
EDIT:
Ok, I found that actually the `Walk through desktops` option has been dismissed: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/me … uests/3871

Great minds think a like! Thanks so much for pointing me to the Plasma source. I use this feature so much it completely breaks my workflow. I'll ask them (grovel on hands and knees) and hope I can get it back.

I found this script: https://github.com/NoahHakansson/kwin-last-used-desktop
Unfortunately I couldn't install it. I needed to create a metadata.json, which I did:
{
"KPlugin": {
"Name": "Last used desktop",
"Description": "KWin script to switch to the last used desktop.",
"Icon": "preferences-system-windows",
"Authors": [
{
"Email": "null@null.null",
"Name": "Noah H"
}
],
"Id": "last-used-desktop",
"Version": "1.0",
"License": "GPLv3",
"Website": "https://github.com/NoahHakansson/kwin-last-used-desktop"
},
"X-Plasma-API": "javascript",
"X-Plasma-MainScript": "code/main.js",
"KPackageStructure": "KWin/Script"
}
And then install it using
kpackagetool6 --type=KWin/Script -i .
After this the shortcut "Last used desktop" shows up. However, it doesn't work -- pressing the modifier does nothing.
Any ideas?

What about this? I cannot try this now.

Yep, this works perfectly!! Thanks
How did you find it? I searched, but this never showed up.

Someone suggested it on Reddit.
I think we are okay now.

That's not much of a solution if you have more than 2 virtual desktops - it doesn't bring back the walk-through-desktops feature. If anyone knows of a way to do that, I'd love to find it... Virtual desktops just became unusable for me.
