This bug is part of an ongoing effort to rethink the options available in System Settings. The end goal is to consolidate some obscure options to make Plasma feel simpler to use and improve the user experience. I was advised to make individual bug reports with my suggestions. More details with all the suggestions and talking points can be seen in this shared document: https://collaborate.kde.org/s/oEkdeYerKqaZNyC ---------------- This ties in with the Lessons Learned page about off-by-default features: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Design/Lessons_Learned#New_off-by-default_features In the Task Switcher KCM there's an option called "Include “Show Desktop” icon". There's no reason to have a useful feature be disabled by default.

No objection. This probably wouldn't be too hard to submit a merge request for. Would you like to do the honors?

I don't code but if it's a simple change I can try. I took a look at the Kwin repo. Is the setting in kwin.kcfg? The only option that seems to fit is ShowDesktopMode, but I'm not sure.
Yep, that looks like the one.
