Description Patrick Silva 2017-03-04 18:38:19 UTC 
Add `minimize all windows` addon to your panel or your desktop, set a keyboard shorcut (I use meta+d).
Nothing happens when I press the shortcut, it works under X11 session.

Confirming this bug in:

Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition Unstable Branches live iso 20170813
KDE Plasma Version: 5.10.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.37.0
Qt Version: 5.9.1
Kernel Version: 4.10.0-32-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Video Card: Intel 4500MHD

Both clicking on created 'Minimize Windows' desktop/panel widgets and activating assigned to it key combination (Meta+D) aren't minimizing windows.

Default shortcut for 'Show Desktop' - 'Ctrl+F12' is working, assigning 'Meta+D' combination to it in 'Global Shortcuts' and activating 'Show Desktop' action with new 'Meta+D' combination is also working.

I just had a look into the implementation. This cannot work on Wayland. It needs a completely different implementation on Wayland.

I think the easiest would be to use libtaskmanager which can minimize windows and would remove the need for a C++ plug-in as it provides a QML import.
