Description Quinten Kock 2024-03-31 16:48:15 UTC
SUMMARY
When the overview is open, it should close when an application is activated via e.g. Meta+0-9. Currently, KWin goes to the correct virtual desktop, and it focuses/minimizes the application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the overview (Meta+W)
2. Focus an application with Meta+Num

OBSERVED RESULT
KWin goes to the window's workspace and focuses the window, minimizes the window, or starts the application as if the overview was not open.

EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect KWin to focus the window or start the application, and close the overview. This way I can immediately use the application I tried to focus/start via Meta+Num.
