Using packages from Kubuntu-CI (unstable daily). Meta+Tab is the default for "Next Activity", pressing that doesn't do anything. I configured another global shortcut, but with the same end result. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press Meta+Tab Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Next activity is switched
I also enabled the "Global Shortcuts" plugin in the Activities KCM but that didn't have any effect.
Those shortcuts work totally fine for me. but nevertheless I will look into it.
Okay confirmed, I had some local patches so it was working for me.
Any update on this? I just updated my packages today (Kubuntu KF5 daily unstable) and the problem is not fixed yet.
nope not fixed yet..

Fixed by 727a95729f9a3e923759c702eed2294bf351e20a in plasma-desktop.
Still does not work for me on Plasma 5.2.2 (Distribution: ArchLinux) The "Global Shortcuts" plugin in System Settings->Desktop Behaviour->Activities was deactivated, but activating it did nothing to fix it. I made sure the global keyboard shortcuts for plasmashell are set correctly.

Hello, I am using plasma-workspace-5.3.1 on Kubuntu 15.04 and the meta+tab hotkey only works sometimes. It seems to work well after initial startup but it stops working after a suspend - resume cycle.

Quick update: the shortcut starts working again after this: $ kquitapp plasmashell $ /usr/bin/plasmashell --shut-up &> /dev/null &
A temporary "workaround" for those who are not willing to upgrade to 5.3: In Desktop Settings -> Mouse Actions, you can set e.g. scrolling to Switch Activity.
I have the same bug in Plasma 5.4 OS: Netrunner 17 (64 bit) System: Linux 4.2.0-19-generic x86_64 Plasma: 5.4.3 Harware: Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Keyboard set to "Generic 101 key PC" Meta+Q open the activities bar, Meta+Tab does not work. Assigning a different key combination (e.g. Ctrl+Tab) has also no effect.
Um, why was this bug givent he VisualDesign flag? I don't see any visual design aspect of it. Am I missing something?

I can confirm this bug is still present. I just migrated from KDE4 to plasma5 on Debian Sid with Plasma 5.4.3. Just two days before, with KDE4, Meta+Tab worked quite well.
There might be some other shortcut that is colliding with the one for activity switching. You can try setting something else to use meta+tab, and shift+meta+tab - this will remove it from all other places hopefully. Then you go to the global keyboard shortcuts for plasma and set the 'Walk through activities' to be Meta-Tab. This should do it.
@Ivan: I cannot confirm this. In my case, if I try to set any keyboard shortcut to "meta+tab" in systemsettings5, the meta key isn't recognized at all (neither the left nor right meta key, that is). I always end up with the shortcut being just "tab". I'd rule out a malfunctioning keyboard: On tty1, "showkey" happily recognizes both "meta" keys.
Activities shortcuts does nto work on Neon - Plamsma 5.6.5 and Frameworks 5.23. I think this was broken somewhere in Frameworks 5.23 as on Kubutnu it wrked pretty well (Plasma 5.6.4 + Frameworks 5.22). Please reopen this bug.
Created attachment 99655 [details] 2 activities with shortcutsassigned As you can see on the screen, i have 2 activities defined with shorcuts for each of them (it was hard to assign them from activities inspector but i did it through shortcuts module). This shortcuts dont have any effect though.
On Kubuntu YY (to become 16.10) KInfocenter reports Plasma 5.6.5 and Frameworks 5.23. I could create a new activity from the 'Hamburger' menu, then use the Other tab to assign ctrl+meta+a, and click Create. When I go back to the Activity, the shortcut for switching to the activity is lost. On Manjaro (fully updated) KInfocenter reports Plasma 5.6.4 and Frameworks 5.22. I could create a new activity from the 'Hamburger' menu, then use the Other tab to assign ctrl+meta+a, and click Create. When I go back to the Activity, the shortcut for switching to the activity is still stored in the Other tab, but the shortcut seems to not actually switch activities.

On both, I can use meta+tab to cycle between started activities.
On KDE Neon with latest packages, Meta+Tab switches the next activity correctly.
(In reply to Jasem Mutlaq from comment #24) > On KDE Neon with latest packages, Meta+Tab switches the next activity > correctly. Try to assign custom shortcuts for each activity.
(In reply to Marco Parillo from comment #22) I also have this problem on Opensuse Tumbleweed running Plasma 5.8.4, Frameworks 5.28.0, Qt 5.7.0. The Meta+Tab for switching activity, and the Meta+Q for the activity manager DO work, but assigning a shortcut to the activities doesn't have effect. Moreover, I have the following finding maybe related to the hotkey problem. I had 3 activities, deleted them (because of not working shortcuts) and created again. After this I have 6 activities in the global shortcuts menu, 3 for the old, deleted ones and 3 for the new. There should be some information exchange problem between the activity manager and the shortcut management.
still: on recent openSUSE Tumbleweed (incl. 5.9beta) setting specific shortcuts to activities does not work.
Is there any hope it will be fixed in the near future? In KDE4 it was fine and I really miss it.
As it still exists in Plasma 5.9 and doesn't looks like it will be fixed in 5.10, here is my workaround for it: Check activities list to see theit ID-s: #qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities ListActivities In System Settings -> Shorcuts define Custom Shortcuts: New -> Global Shortcus -> DBUS Command remote program: org.kde.ActivityManager remote object: /ActivityManager/Activities function: SetCurrentActivity arguments: [paste activity ID]
Wow, thanks! It works like charm. But if it is so simple, why it is still broken? Nevertheless, now it works. Thank you once more.
I also have this problem on KDE Neon 5.9.5. I think this should have a much higher priority because Activities is a killer feature of KDE and having it half-working is very unfortunate. The workaround above works for me so I am happy ATM but would be nice to have this fixed.
I have the same problem with activities shortcuts. I'm using Kubuntu 17.10, Plasma 5.10.5 and KDE Frameworks 5.38. I had to use the ugly workaround of sending DBUS commands. At least it works perfectly.
Setting custom shortcuts for prev/next activities works in: Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.4 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.2 Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic Type: 64-bit
Is the original bug still an issue for someone here?
It still doesn't work for me. I mean I can't assign shortcut to directly switch to specific activity and have to use hack mentioned above. I'm on Debian testing (Plasma 5.12.4). Which version is it intended to be fixed in?
There's no claim to have fixed it. I also have no information. So, without using your hacks. Can I see your ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc

The original report is about Meta+Tab while the remaining bug seems to be the 'switch to *' global shortcut. Marking as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 374575 ***
This bug is resolved for me. Meta+Tab works in switching activity. I'm on KDE Neon with KF5 5.48 and Qt 5.11.1
