Summary: Cannot trigger desktop grid using Screen Edges
Product: [Plasma] kwin Reporter: Rohitt Vashishtha <aero31aero>

Description Rohitt Vashishtha 2024-03-07 04:53:03 UTC 
SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade to Plasma 6 and observe that any previous binding in Screen Edges to show the desktop grid disappears, and there's no such entry in the list anymore

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT

Have Desktop Grid in the Screen Edges shortcuts list similar to how Overview exists.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.6.20-1-lts (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I know that the overview effect replaces the Desktop Grid effect, so the existing binding getting unset wasn't surprising at all, but being unable to toggle the grid while being able to toggle the overview with screen-edges feels like a minor oversight and probably easy to add hopefully, since toggling with Meta+G works perfectly.

I checked the code and it seems like the linked commit in master should be fixing this. But I don't understand how come this isn't in the 6.0.1 tree/release even though its 10 days old? Just trying to understand the release process a bit. Would it later be cherry-picked to the Plasma/6.0 branch or was it never intended for Plasma 6?

Because it involves changing strings so 6.1
