SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press Meta+T OBSERVED RESULT Nothingness EXPECTED RESULT Tiling Editor SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION After months, I finally snapped/raged at the tiling and decided to look into why the quartiles weren't quartiling equally. Seems someone touched how tiling was done. After looking at videos, it seems like it may still be acceptable, except I can't get the Tiling Editor to come up at all. It just does nothing other than recognize the 't' character being pressed. (Other meta shortcuts DO work). Even the journal doesn't show any output related to it. I've tried it with each Settings->Workspace->{Shortcuts->Plasma->Toggle Tiles Editor, Workspace Behavior->Desktop Effects->Tiling Editor} separately having ownership of the Meta+T keys. I don't know if there's a command/dbus-interface that I can trigger the Tiling Editor to pop-up, in case I'm missing some component package or something. I'd expect that if I were missing something, that I'd be informed of a failure when the key-combo is pressed.
Same problem here. Even if I change the shortcut to something else, I cannot get the tiles editor to appear.

Vindicator, are you on X11 or Wayland when this happens? Also can you look in System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects and make sure that "Tiling Editor" is checked/enabled? Thanks!

Thanks! X11 Yes, while "I've tried it with each Settings->Workspace->{Shortcuts->Plasma->Toggle Tiles Editor, Workspace Behavior->Desktop Effects->Tiling Editor} separately having ownership of the Meta+T keys.", I also made sure "Workspace Behavior->Desktop Effects->Tiling Editor" was enabled too. It still is (even had applied off/on states to make sure they were taking).

LOL @ bot
The issue was due to compositing somehow being disabled with the compositing setting no longer available now (whereas it used to allow you to switch between like x11,opengl,egl I think). I had to use dbus to even find the compositing setting and change the "active" state.
The tiling editor requires compositing. So that' rather intentional. As for the compositing being disabled and not being aware, maybe it needs a follow up, but let's keep it track of it elsewhere.
