SUMMARY The 'Active screen follows mouse cursor' option has been removed from settings, but the internal default value is true (see kwin/src/kwin.kcfg). When activeMouseScreen==true separateScreenFocus does not work, so there should be some safeguard to ensure that activeMouseScreen is false when the user sets separateScreenFocus to true. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In settings -> Window Behavior -> Focus - check 'Separate screen focus' 2. In settings -> Shortcuts -> KWin - configure shortcut for 'Switch to Next Screen' 3. Use previously configures shortcut OBSERVED RESULT There will be a message that switching screen is not possible, because of configuration, but this configuration can't be changed anymore (activeMouseScreen). EXPECTED RESULT Focus should be switch to other monitor.

For anyone looking for a temporary workaround, you can edit your $HOME/.config/kwinrc manually, find the [Windows] section, and add this line to it: activeMouseScreen=true Then log out and back in. Thanks to harle-quin for mentioning the flag name in the OP :)
I have tried to add the key activeMouseScreen=true in the section [Windows] of file ~/.config/kwinrc and restart...without luck. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland

Anyway, it's not a problem, I'll wait the fix of the bug...It's not too important one for me. Thanks!

I'm sorry, my previous comment (#3) was incorrect: the line you should add is ActiveMouseScreen=false, not true (and make sure the A is capitalised). I just retested it after toggling this to true (doesn't work) then false again (which works).
