SUMMARY Can't use arrow keys to switch between virtual desktops when using the Desktop Grid effect STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure there are at least two virtual desktops (System Settings > Workspace > Workspace Behavior > Virtual Desktops) 2. Enable effect "Desktop Grid" (System Settings > Workspace > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects > Window Management) 3. Activate "Desktop Grid" (default shortcut is Ctrl+F8) 4. Press arrow keys OBSERVED RESULT There is no visible change of the selection of the Virtual Desktop. Sometimes, an outline (corresponding to the chosen accent color of the color scheme) appears on one of the windows in the _first_ virtual desktop. I couldn't reliably reproduce how the selection of _windows_ instead of _desktops_ is activated. EXPECTED RESULT A visible selection of one of Virtual Desktops starts. All other Virtual Desktops become a bit darker to signify that they are _not_ selected.

Support keyboard navigation between windows across desktops If a DesktopView doesn't handle a keyboard navigation event it propagates to main which then focusses the next desktop view and the relevant window. Empty desktops can also be selected.

Worth mentioning that there's a potential follow-up, I allowed selecting an empty desktop but there's no visual indicator when that's the case.
Hi. Still experience the same issue. 1) if all desktops are empty Once desktop grid is up it is impossible to move through the desktops via arrow keys. It is also not possible to go into a desktop via enter key. Moving through the grid is only possible via mouse. Going into a desktop is only possible via mouse click. 2) if all desktops contain windows The situation different if the desktops have windows open. It is possible to move through the desktops via moving through their windows. That is if Desktop1 has 2 windows open and Desktop2 as one window open, and say one works one window 1 in Desktop1 it is possible to reach window 1 ind desktop 2 via bringing up the grid and pressing "right arrow" 3 times. 3) if some desktops contain windows and others don't For those desktops containing windows 2) applies. Those which do not contain windows can only be reached via mouse and mouse click. Opening a window on those desktops makes them reachable via arrow+enter. OS: Arch kernel: 5.19.10 plasma: 5.25.5
Those issues are already tracked by Bug 457910, which isn't fixed yet. Once it is, those issues should go away.
Same here. Started happening today. Previously it was working. Then I enter the Virtual destop settings and suddently started to happend. Hope it gets solved anytime soon
