Switching between display modes using Meta+P does not work

I’m using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6 (as showed bellow), but I can not use Meta+P shortcut to switch between display modes (Duplicate, Extend, Show only, etc). Whenever I do the shortcut, there’s nothing happens, though I can still switch display modes manually in the settings app. I have carefully checked the shortcuts section in the settings app and there was no conflict between Meta+P and other shortcuts.

I have the same issue. One workaround is to add a “display configuration” widget and use that instead for the time being

In KDE Brasil we had an Arch user mentioning this same issue as well.

Thank you. At least I know I’m not the only one having this problem :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I just found out a temporary solution that is to create a shortcut. Disable switch display in KDE Setting app and create a new shortcut with similar keystroke ‘Meta+P’ and run command ‘kcmshell6 kcm_kscreen’, which will open up a small panel that we can manually switch display modes.

Hi - for folks’ reference, it looks like a report has been filed on the KDE Bugtracking System here: 502486 – Shortcut for Display Configuration does not work anymore
