*** Bug 447065 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I totally agree! This feature should be implemented. Also, I would like to be able to use my usual global keyboard-shortcuts to navigate between virtual desktops while the overview effect is open. *** Bug 453790 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I also agree, but I would also like to recommend 2 changes: 1) if you want to move from a desktop 1 to a hypothetical 20, at the moment you have to press the mouse and drag with the bar, I recommend scrolling the thumbnails of the desktop overviews Dock type, as the mouse moves towards the edges the virtual desktops being mended have to scroll 2) I suggest adding the Activities at the bottom of the desktop overview, as are the virtual desktops at the top, both to advertise the function "Activities" that for the benefit of having everything in one fell swoop, thank you *Ping* From Sep 1 on there will be the soft freeze for Plasma 5.26 [1], so do you think it could be merged and the remaining little issues fixed afterwards during the beta phase? Last time I tested it myself on master many weeks ago it was already working sufficiently good. This would be a great "+" in case of the UX from my point of view. Thank you anyway. ;) [1] https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5 Is there any further progress on the issue? Overview is almost as useful as present windows if one can't move between workspaces without reloading overview each time Git commit 785fa5c1725b660a3570069bd2f7f912ff647d0d by Vlad Zahorodnii. Committed on 03/05/2023 at 07:00. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. plugins/overview: Allow switching between desktops inside effect At the moment, clicking desktop thumbnails in the desktop bar results in switching to that virtual desktop, which is not ideal because the overview effect allows sending windows to another virtual desktop by drag and dropping them to its thumbnail but you can't jump to that desktop unless you leave the overview effect.
