Description Anton Karmanov 2021-04-14 19:49:47 UTC

list should have a shortcut to select only one item and to reverse selection. It is common to use ^LMB.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on a window titlebar.
2. Go to "Show in Activities".
3. Ctrl + Left click on one of the activities.

OBSERVED RESULT
As for plain LMB click.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only clicked activity is selected if was not, every activity is selected if clicked one was selected before.

GNU Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BUG434621 is for related UX issue.

Comment 1 Anton Karmanov 2021-04-14 19:58:58 UTC

I meant "every activity is selected except the clicked one" in EXPECTED section, as it seems common intuitive behavior.

Comment 2 gilbert.drew 2023-09-08 23:32:04 UTC

I'd like to add that as the "Show in Activities" menu is a checkbox list, it would be good if it could remain until dismissed.  It's frustrating when trying to add a window to several (but not all) activities and have the menu disappear after each selection.

Agreed with these suggestions.
