SUMMARY "Present Windows" option is missing from Desktop Effects section. When I search for it in the System Settings search bar, it points me to Desktop Effects, but it's not there. I can invoke Present Windows with ctrl+f9, but I want to change it to a different key combo as I have in my other Fedora KDE installations. But as mentioned, the option/entry is missing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. Search "Present Windows" 3. It returns Desktop Effects as a result, but Present Windows is missing OBSERVED RESULT -Present Windows is missing, cannot change key shortcut EXPECTED RESULT -I expect this to work like my other Fedora KDE install where I was able to see Present Windows in the list of desktop effects and change the keyboard shortcut and other settings. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It was hidden from there because its existence as a desktop effect is really an implementation detail. You can change the shortcuts in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > search for "present" or browse in the "KWin" category.

Can the search results be updated to reflect that? I feel that will mislead more users in the future.
That can probably be done. Which search results specifically?

Git commit abac50b148577d01e16fb1e7b1e0a1fb19385d48 by Nate Graham. Committed on 07/01/2025 at 15:15. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. kcms/effects: remove unnecessary keywords 1d42d64f8722be51d0dede3c2e7da3ed3e32936c hid two effects from the KCM but forgot to remove the keywords for them, so people still get directed to the KCM via search results and get confused. Remove them now. And while we're at it, also remove "resize window effect" which hasn't been present here for a while now.
