it is "Icons-only task manager" , the plasmoid in the standard panel.


while it is true that you cannot add any shortcut to Global Shortcuts ,

it might well serve your purpose to add somthing - namely a .khotkeys scheme - under Custom Shortcuts in the same KCM in systemsettings called "Shortcuts"

granted, the whole thing may be a bit confusing. see also https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-work ... otkeys.pdf

with good explanations

seems like a non-bug to me, reporter please confirm whether a custom shortcut fulfills your needs.

global shortcuts are not there to do what you want, I presume.

No it doesn't, at least, I'm not sure exactly how I can recreate that on Custom Shortcuts.
