SUMMARY

Kwin Debug Console can't be closed with ESC nor any of the following Kwin shortcuts (Plasma Settings > Shortcuts > Kwin): Close Window: Quit Window: Kill Window. The only way to close it is by keeping its window titlebar enabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plasma Settings > Window Decorations > Edit button on Breeze (Breeze Window Decoration) > Window Specific Overrides
2. Add and apply a window override: "Window Class Name" selected, regex to match: `.*`
3. Open Kwin Debug Console

WORKAROUND

Replace the regex `.*` with `^((?!Debug Console).)*$ ` to exclude the Kwin Debug Console.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

kwin debug console is not a separate window nor a process and so we dont know how to close it via terminal or anything.
