SUMMARY
Before upgrading to Plasma 6, I had the "Switch to Next Screen" and "Switch to Previous Screen" keyboard shortcuts that worked. I had the "Separate screen focus" settings checked and the "Click to focus", since without this the feature wouldn't work. I also tested other window activation policies, but no luck.

Now, in Plasma 6, with the same setup (shortcuts and settings), it doesn't work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set shortcuts for "Switch to Next Screen" and "Switch to Previous Screen"
2. In Window Behaviour, check the setting "Separate screen focus" and set the Window activation policy to "Click to focus"

OBSERVED RESULT
The screen focus doesn't change to the other screen when using the shortcut

EXPECTED RESULT
The screen focus changes to the other screen when using the shortcut

Why it has been set as Resolved?
Switch to Screen shortcuts are still broken on 6.0.4 due to "active mouse screen" being deliberatly dropped in 6.0.0 (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5102).
