Can reproduce. The tabbox mechanism (window/desktop switcher that uses thumbnails or text) doesn't support shortcuts with no modifiers because you have to hold the modifier key while selecting, and then release it to perform the switch. I don't know if that might have worked in the past, as I think it's always been the intended behavior. To immediately switch to a different desktop on a single key shortcut, one should use the "Switch to Next Desktop" action instead. This kind of confusion is one of the reasons why using the tabbox to walk through desktops is getting deprecated on Plasma 6. As of current implementation it also doesn't really support multiple shortcuts, but imho that's a different issue.

Hi Ismael, I want to jump to the previously selected desktop. The shortcut you mention just jumps to the next desktop in order, from desktop 2 to 3 for example. |
