Observed Behavior: When using the Show Desktop keyboard shortcut (CTRL + F12 by default), the desktop will be shown, but upon opening a new app or returning to a minimized app, all other minimized apps will also open. This behavior is also observed with the Peek at Desktop shortcut (SUPER + D by default), which is to be expected. Now there are two separate functions, Peek at Desktop and Show Desktop, that both do the same thing. Expected Behavior: Prior to updating Plasma, I did not have this issue. Using Show Desktop would minimize all apps, and opening a new app would only open that app while everything else would stay minimized. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open multiple apps (anything works) 2. Press CTRL + F12 to show the desktop 3. Re-open one of the minimized apps, or launch a new one 4. All apps that were minimized in step 2 will now return as well 5. Press SUPER + D to peek at the desktop 6. Re-open one of the minimized apps, or launch a new one 7. Behavior is the same, the minimized apps will all return.
They are indeed the same thing. The widget was named "Peek at desktop" and I guess we forgot to rename the KWin action. I'll look into it.
