Description Oded Arbel 2021-06-14 17:20:06 UTC

SUMMARY
Unlike kwin_x11, where after opening the window operations menu and navigating to the "Move to desktop" sub menu (possibly using the shortcut key "D") the user can select the desktop entry to trigger by pressing only the numeric button, in wayland the "Desktops" sub menu requires the user to hold ALT while pressing a number to trigger the menu shortcut key.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On desktop 1, create a new application window.
2. Open the window operations menu (using RMB on the window decoration or using the window operations menu shortcut key).
3. Press "d" to open the desktops sub menu and press "2" to select the second desktop.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
The second desktop should be selected and the menu closed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Holding ALT while pressing the number does trigger the menu. I'm opening this bug on the off chance that the inconsistency with X11 is not on purpose (as several other inconsistencies in kwin between the X11 and the wayland implementations were confirmed by developers to be on purpose).

As far as I know, we didn't change this on purpose. I guess it has something to do with desktop items not being in an exclusive group.
