Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager  shortcut settings

I have multi-display setup with all panes down below being autohidden. Hovering mouse over every one of these panes brings them up as usual, meanwhile, using a shortcut (.e.g. "Win+T" ) set in settings   to   "Activate Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager" doesn't work anymore. It was working in 23.10.

Additionally I've tested this bug in Kubuntu 24.10 LIVE-CD mode to rule out my user config. The shortcut still doesn't activate anything.

Btw. It would be nice if it would be possible to bind a shortcut to brings up all panes with Task Manager at once just to peek up, not just one bound to (which is nice too).

I need a shortcut for that because, as I said, by default several panes are auto hidden. and I want to see what applications to activate by using digit shortcuts.

Best.

Workaround: you can assign a shortcut to a panel

Thanks, yeah. The workaround works perfectly but the bug remains relevant cause if one needs to focus a widget, he would need shortcuts working...
