STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. SUPER + P 2. Click any option 3. Nothing change. OBSERVED RESULT No result is observed EXPECTED RESULT I expect this to remember the last 2 or 3 layout I last used or offer a way to configure these options with the layourts I use. For example: - When I select "laptop screen" I expect to enable only my main and second monitor - When I select "External Screen" I expect it to enable only my TV. - When I select "extend to some direction" I expect it enable all screen All this while remembering where I positioned them previously. This settings take into account that I'm on laptop but in reality I'm on desktop. I would really apreciate if this was actually configurable so I can add options to fit my need. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Any. This is an old problem I have. KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CPU: Ryzen 5600x RAM: 32gb MB: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro GPU: nVidia RTX 3070 GPU driver: 560.31.02 (beta) this problem also happen in previous drivers.
Quick options only support simple default configurations with two screens. For more complicated setup you should use the display configuration in settings.

No. This is definitely a bug as it is expected that these options do something when used. As you click it and nothing happens then the obvious conclusion is that it's broken even if that this is the intended behavior for now. As it is now this feature breaks when user connect more than 2 monitors.

I don't think this would be hard to fix for multiple monitor just by making options to edit this shortcut inside display manager by remembering the user desired setting and let users atach to the shortcut. I don't know how to implement that but I did a lot of VBA in my life so I see this problem as fast to solve as remembering a buton and runing a comand to change display would be simple instead of expecting the user to make a .sh to workaround that.

That sounds like a feature request about adding the ability to use custom layouts to the quick options panel. Would you like to make this report about that?

The way I sugested may be considered a feature request but my sugestion isn't the only solution as there are people more clever than me in KDE team that could think a different and better solution to fixing this feature and making it work for any number of monitors. This ticket isn't about my sugestion but the problem as a whole. Probably the way to deal with my sugestion is by opening an independent feature request while leaving this issue open as my sugestion is an incomplete solution.

Thanks. How's the proper way to do this? I searched for a while but here I can only open bugs. Should I open here with a [Feature Request] in the begining?

The interface is the same as for the bug reports. Yeah just put something like [feature request] in the title, and set severity to wishlist.
Feature request related to this issue is open. Thanks for all the help in opening this right. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491900
