SUMMARY The issue started with KWin 6. On Wayland, it's working fine, but on X11, when trying to toggle the desktop grid using the same keyboard shortcut, it can't be closed. In order to close the grid, you have to select a desktop and left-click it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. X11 session 2. Open grid using keyboard shortcut 3. Press shortcut again, trying to close the grid OBSERVED RESULT Grid stays open EXPECTED RESULT Grid should toggle using the same keyboard shortcut SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2
Confirmed here. This affects both "Toggle Overview" and "Toggle Grid View", but not either of the Cycle functions. Taking a look at the code, I think I see a distinct difference in how they are handled: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/plugins/overview/overvieweffect.cpp?ref_type=heads#L340 The cycle routines have their own specific handlers in this, like "cycle();", while the toggles use "m_gridState->toggleAction();" and same for overview. I tried testing with a quick and dirty "toggleGrid();" with similar functionality to cycle(); with one less state, no success yet.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5505
Tested the above merge request over 6.0.2, works for me!
