Description kde.mooing651 2025-07-23 17:02:49 UTC

Observed Behavior: When using the Show Desktop keyboard shortcut (CTRL + F12 by default), the desktop will be shown, but upon opening a new app or returning to a minimized app, all other minimized apps will also open. 

This behavior is also observed with the Peek at Desktop shortcut (SUPER + D by default), which is to be expected. Now there are two separate functions, Peek at Desktop and Show Desktop, that both do the same thing. 

Expected Behavior: Prior to updating Plasma, I did not have this issue. Using Show Desktop would minimize all apps, and opening a new app would only open that app while everything else would stay minimized. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open multiple apps (anything works)
2. Press CTRL + F12 to show the desktop
3. Re-open one of the minimized apps, or launch a new one
4. All apps that were minimized in step 2 will now return as well
5. Press SUPER + D to peek at the desktop
6. Re-open one of the minimized apps, or launch a new one
7. Behavior is the same, the minimized apps will all return.

They are indeed the same thing. The widget was named "Peek at desktop" and I guess we forgot to rename the KWin action. I'll look into it.

tabbox: unify on "Peek at Desktop" name

We already renamed the widget to this some time ago in Plasma, but never
mirrored that name change to KWin.
