Description John Veness 2025-04-30 20:45:29 UTC
As far as I can tell, there is currently no place to report bugs in the Task Switchers. There was  Product: kdeplasma-addons, Component: Task Switchers, but no new bugs can be opened there. In Product: plasmashell (which is where all kdeplasma-addons were supposedly migrated), I can't see a suitable component.

Hi - the Task Switcher is part of KWin, so it's under the product "kwin" and the component "tabbox".

Thanks,

Oh, thank you! I don't think I've ever heard it called a "tabbox" before, but that's great.

Assuming that renaming the component is not easily doable, can you maybe add "Task Switcher" to the description? I see it mentions Alt+Tab, which is good, but Task Switcher is the user-facing name in System Settings for example.

And maybe, for people who come across the old Task Switchers component in kdeplasma-addons, change that description to say where to file bugs now? Thanks.
Comment 3 John Kizer 2025-05-03 21:41:24 UTC
That makes a lot of sense in my opinion - reopening and retitling so this can be used for that request.

Perhaps the description could read "Everything related to Task Switchers (Alt+Tab) except effects"
