I made a fix for this so the keyboard navigation matches the old presentwindows one (one window is always selected and you can select another window anytime with the arrow keys without unfocusing the searchbox). Here is is: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2562 (waiting to be merged at the moment). Thx. Git commit 6838b1132fad8b32c26409fd46b2e49803684dd6 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Niklas Stephanblom. Committed on 23/06/2022 at 17:13. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Windowview: Fix broken keyboard navigation while filtering After the 5.25 update, one could not see which window was highlighted until one manually unfocused the SearchField and then pressed any key to refresh the WindowHeap. Also, the searchbar would (most of the time) "absorb" the arrow keys so one had to also unfocus it to really be able to select windows with they keyboard. With this change, there is always one window highlighted while filtering using the search box. Also, one can select another window with the arrow keys without manually unfocusing the searchbox. This heavily improves the keyboard functionality in this effect that got lost with the 5.25 update of presentwindows to windowview and resolves complaints about the keyboard navigation being buggy.
