Description Nate Graham 2023-08-04 14:04:06 UTC
This shortcut has the keybinding Meta+Alt+P by default. In Plasma 6, it doesn't do anything.
Comment 1 Fushan Wen 2023-10-01 04:21:44 UTC
Works here. Is it fixed?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-10-07 13:37:41 UTC
It's still not working on my neon unstable. I use meta+a shortcut.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-10-11 15:21:16 UTC
Still broken for me too. I see something a bit weird; both KWin and Plasmashell seem to register the shortcut, at least according to the Shortcuts KCM. Maybe that's related.
Comment 4 Fushan Wen 2023-10-16 09:35:50 UTC
Still works. I don't have Plasma 5 installed, so it might be a packaging conflict.
Comment 5 Fushan Wen 2023-11-18 07:17:46 UTC
Can anyone check the shortcut KCM to see if Meta+Alt+P is correctly set?
Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2023-11-18 15:04:06 UTC
meta+alt+p shortcut was unchecked on my system, After checking I got this message:

'Shortcut Meta+Alt+P is already assigned to action 'Move keyboard focus between panels' of plasmashell.
Do you want to reassign it?"

I clicked "yes" and then clicked on "Apply" button, but the button used to set the shortcut in "edit mode" popup of the Panel is still saying "None".
Comment 7 Akseli Lahtinen 2023-11-22 12:15:54 UTC
For me the shortcut works. However, it goes from first panel to second panel, but doesnt loop back to first one.
Comment 8 Akseli Lahtinen 2023-11-22 12:18:21 UTC
After changing the shortcut between kwin and plasmashell for same setting, neither setting works anymore.
Comment 9 Akseli Lahtinen 2023-11-22 12:21:30 UTC
One more thing. If I manually disable the KWin shortcut, press apply, go to plasmashell shortcut, enable it, then it works again. But again, it wont loop.

Removing the kwin shortcut (which does nothing) and fixing this toggle loop could be the correct fix?

Show panel on wayland when focusing different panels

When toggling focus between panels on wayland with Meta+Alt+P, it would break 
if one of the panels was hidden.
