Ok, first of all, yes I know this isn't a bug, but I'm not really sure where else to put this, as I'm rather new to the KDE forums/webspace in general.

ShowDesktopIsMinimizeAll=true no longer works, and I've looked through and found it was removed as a feature. I'm fine with that but there needs to be a feature to replace it, preferably via GUI. I've seen some arguments against it, including people just want to switch desktops, and that's totally inaccurate. When I have only 2 screens, and I have 10+ windows open, I really want to minimize all the windows, and pull up only the ones I'm using at that moment. It keeps things clean. I don't want to open multiple desktops and have my windows in 5 different places, because that defeats the point of keeping things clean.

This is a features that's essentially classic. It's been around for years and everyone likes it. Last I checked, it was even the default experience for the last several versions of Windows. Case in point, please don't be apple or microsoft and take the tiny features many people use. It really helps with usability.

Reproducible: Always
