Created attachment 143198 [details] example of keyboard shortcuts SUMMARY I have several virtual desktops. When I set a keyboard shortcut to move the focussed window to an adjacent virtual desktop, the window moves and the view follows (meaning that I end up on the target desktop). However, when I set a keyboard shortcut to send the focussed window to a numbered desktop, the window is sent there, but the view remains on the original desktop and does not follow the window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Provided you have several virtual desktops (otherwise create some first). 1. Open systemsettings5, navigate to Keybindings > KWin 2. Set some keybindings to Move Window to Desktop 2 (or any other numbered desktop) (the English translation may differ). 3. Go to desktop 1, focus a window and perform the keybinding. OBSERVED RESULT The window is sent successfully to the given numbered desktop (e.g. desktop 2), but the view remains on the original desktop (e.g. desktop 1). EXPECTED RESULT The view should follow the window. Hence the current implementation is not consistent with the behaviour of sending windows to adjacent virtual desktops, where the view does indeed follow the window in its journey towards another desktop. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 with enabled official KDE backports ppa (hence newest stable plasma). KDE Plasma Version: plasmashell 5.23.2 SCREENSHOT But I set Meta+Shift+Right to move the window to the next (adjacent) desktop, and Alt+" (i.e. Alt+Shift+2) to move to the numbered desktop. They behave differently, and that's annoying. PS: The screenshot is in French (I sadly don't know how to launch the whole menu to English).
Dear all, Can something be done about this bug? That would be appreciated! Thank you so much!
This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
The bug persists, I therefore reopen the case. -- Operating System: Ubuntu 23.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-32-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz Memory: 15.3 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20U9008FMZ System Version: ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8
CCing Natalie, who I recall did a lot of work with these shortcuts a year or two ago.
