Plasma 6.6, Wayland, Fedora 43.
The recent announcement of Plasma 6.6 promises that the long-requested feature of letting virtual desktops on multiple monitors to be switched independently has now arrived. However I can’t find any information on how to enable this and it certainly isn’t working be default.
Any thoughts?

It is a kwin effect at the moment.
It doesn’t quite do that; it only does so on the primary monitor.

As far as I can see it doesn’t appear to do even that. If there’s a kwin setting I can;t see it.

It is a Kwin script , not an effect. Apologies for the confusion.
It definitely works as described for me, though a tiny bit odd in how it slides.

Thanks, I see it now. I enabled it and clicked Apply, but nothing has changed, i.e. switching desktops still affects both monitors.

Double check with windows open on each. It tricked me at first. Both wallpapers do slide, only the Primary switches to a different desktop.
I will screen grab it here in a moment.

OK, when I first enabled it it definitely wasn’t working, but now it is.
Thanks again.
