While we're at it, we could fix Toggle Present Windows (Current desktop) from Ctrl+F9 to Meta+F9, Toggle Present Windows (All desktops) from Ctrl+F10 to Meta+F10 and Toggle Present Windows (Window class) from Ctrl+F7 to Meta+F7. Also Peek at Desktop and Show Desktop seem to do the same thing. One is bound to Meta+D and the other to Ctrl+F12 I'll pass this along for consideration. . Peek at Desktop seems to be bound in here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/useractions.cpp?ref_type=heads#L981 Show Desktop seems to be bound in here https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/shell/shellcorona.cpp?ref_type=heads#L183 Git commit ef387180c57687936c2ce071a6606f0fc049db8e by Vlad Zahorodnii, on behalf of Antti Savolainen.
