In earlier versions of Plasma (I assume) if one depressed Super+Tab, the sidebar would remain active, allowing one to edit or add activities. Currently, Super+Tab acts like Alt+Tab, which means as soon as the keys are lifted, the sidebar/editing window disappears. The only workaround to this bug (that I know of) is to temporarily install the "Activities" widget. Clicking on the Activities widget allows the sidebar to remain active (and the user can edit or add Activities). Afterwards, the user must remove the widget (if, as in my case, it isn't wanted). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Super+Tab 2. Attempt to edit or Add activities is impossible. . If KDE devs want Super+Tab to behave like Alt+Tab, then Activities should be editable within Preferences.
Previously there was no indication whatsoever when switching activities with Meta+Tab, it is intended that it only serves as an Alt+Tab like switcher. To get the full blown UI you can use Meta+Q

I couldn't remember where to locate this key combination---got it into my head that Meta+Tab was the same as Meta+Q.
If you right click your desktop there's an Activities entry in the context menu which should also show Meta+Q a its shortcut

I like this feature in Plasma 5. As soon as support ends on 15.04, I'll be installing 16.04. Beta but that's alright by me.
