As workaround, I created a script that toggles the zoom and affected a shortcut to run it, then I map it with input-remapper (from AUR) until the new addition in kwin get fixed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457800 Just update the zoom factor in your settings according to your needs. Here is the toggle script that uses an empty temp file (my tmp is mounted to RAM so it is the fastest process): #!/bin/sh TOGGLE=/tmp/.toggle if [ ! -e $TOGGLE ]; then touch $TOGGLE qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_zoom_in" else rm $TOGGLE qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "view_actual_size" fi Xdotool and Xbindkeys has nothing to do here, we need a toggle to the zoom effect so we can map it to any shortcut on extra mouse button. I ended replacing Xdotool with Input Remapper as it works perfectly on Wayland and X11 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/input-remapper-git and it is really simple ... the new Map extra mouse buttons on Plasma System Settings should be fixed with kde-frameworks 100. (In reply to Omar Helali from comment #2) Note that the "Actual Size" button will toggle between the last zoom and no zoom. That's if you can get the key shortcuts to work... I have to change to and set the key bindings on one of the other zoom effects then apply that effect, then switch to the magnifier I want and apply. I got here looking to see if there was a bug report on setting the key shortcuts. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3399 Git commit b0e452563ba0ec996a54aa301939ce97ecdd702c by Vlad Zahorodnii. Committed on 06/01/2023 at 13:41. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. kcms/effects: Fix effect loading/unloading order There are effects that are mutually exclusive, e.g. magnifier and zoom. They both use the same global shortcuts. When switching from zoom to magnifier, the zoom effect must be unloaded first, then the magnifier effect can be loaded. Doing so in the opposite order will break global shortcuts in the magnifier effect because zooming shortcuts are still bound by the zoom effect.
