SUMMARY The shortcut doesn't work on Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run Plasma under Wayland with at least two activities already defined 2. Open any focused window 2. Hit Meta-Tab several times OBSERVED RESULT Activity is seems switching for a moment but returns back immediately. EXPECTED RESULT There should be switching between available activities in a loop.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/587
While testing the patch, hold down Meta and press Tab several times. Otherwise, it'll trigger other issue with activity switching UI.
