SUMMARY After upgrading to Debian 13, the ctrl+shift+esc short and the ctrl+esc shortcut to show KSysGuard and the KSysGuard processes view don't work anymore: KSysGuard is not available anymore as it got replaced by Plasma System Monitor. Now a processes view is missing in Plasma System Monitor. Please add a lighter mode of it that only shows the processes and can be assigned to a second shortcut. Having a shortcut that directly opens the processes STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Upgrade to Debian 13 2. Try opening just the processes with ctrl+esc OBSERVED RESULT Nothing shows. EXPECTED RESULT The new System Monitor uses the shortcut and shows a light processes-only view. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 13 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thank you for the bug report! Debian advises users to not submit bugs upstream (https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting), and Plasma 6.3.6 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Debian at this point. Could you report the bug to Debian using the report bug utility (https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/reportbug)? If necessary, the maintainer of the package will forward the bug upstream. Thanks for understanding! Thanks again!
Are you sure a processes only view is available in a newer version? If it isn't, then just increasing the version in the issue would be good. And if it's available there, then this can be closed anyway.

But it should have been there for 6.3, too. You can try and click on the hamburger menu to edit the available pages — maybe the processes page was disabled somehow? (This is also where you can configure with what page the system monitor should start) If this didn’t help, the Debian bug tracker is the correct place to raise this issue.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the Processes page. I'm referring to a lightweight processes-only view without other pages. If one is for example opening the process manager because the computer is nearly frozen, it's beneficial to have something that loads quick and needs just very little resources and where one enter something into the autofocused search to find and then directly kill the problematic process and so without having to use the mouse which may basically not work. A way to view the Processes page at startup of the Process Manager may be good enough as one can configure the pages in Edit Page -> Configure Page to load the page only "When needed". This seems to already be the default for all the pages so maybe having a lightweight mode of the Process Manager isn't needed. > You can try and click on the hamburger menu to edit the available pages Thanks! This fixes this problem as the second option of a way to view the Processes page at startup is already there: Hamburger menu -> Edit or Remove pages -> Selecting "Processes" in the multiselect "Start with:" at the bottom. I configured the shortcut ctrl+esc to open Process Manager again and as it opens this page now by default, this solves my problem. By the way, I was looking for this mainly by searching for a processes-only mode of PM that I was familiar with from KSysGuard and in the PM only looked for something like "settings" and didn't expect this setting under "Edit or Remove pages" so didn't find it.
