I want to use the task switcher with a toggle button or from the cli. Currently it needs the ALT key to be pressed to remain open. But im using a tv remote this is not possible. So id like to launch with a command, or bind to a hotkey to remain open.
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.toggleTaskSwitcher
Oh, that’s gone…
Perhaps you should consider a wireless keyboard for your TV… I used a Logitech K400 for my LG downstairs.
I’ve been wanting to do the same thing. Do you know why or when “org.kde.KWin.toggleTaskSwitcher” was removed? I’m asking just in case it could be revived, so I could look in the right place.

I’m not sure about the D-Bus side of things, but related to the original use case - the Task Switcher is one of the selectable options for a Screen Edge. That might be helpful for someone with a pointing device, but without ready access to inputting keyboard shortcuts?
And on the D-Bus invokable side of things, maybe invoking the Overview would satisfy that use case?
qdbus-qt6 org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut "Overview"
