Description Björn 2008-07-29 09:53:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When pressing alt+tab, it would be useful if one of the entries was "Show desktop". Especially now that the desktop is more than just a collection of files, it would be nice to have an easy way to access it (that does not require learning a new keyboard shortcut).
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2008-07-29 11:35:26 UTC
So do I get it right that switchting to the desktop via alt+tab is the same as "minimize all windows"? Or would you want that the daschboard is opened?
Comment 2 Björn 2008-07-29 15:41:40 UTC
IMHO, it could be the same as "minimize all windows".

Comment 7 Dennis Schridde 2010-03-10 16:39:07 UTC
Copied over from bug #230203:
The switch-windows functionality (Alt+Tab) should (optionaly) include
switch-to-desktop.

Usecase:
Having no window-list in the controlbar works fine, since you can also easily
use Alt+Tab for that. But only as long as you do not need to switch to the
"desktop", which happens fairly often in a netbook-like setup.
