Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma!
This week the Plasma team focused almost entirely on bug fixing. And let’s let the results speak for themselves: we fixed 18 high and very high priority Plasma bugs, or 28% of all open ones! Lots of polishing for Plasma 6.6 to make it a great release.
Sigh. Ctrl + Fx was easier to reach. Especially when using a “palm press”.
Since default will now need to be remapped, I think I’ll go with Ctrl + 1/2/3/x. It will be consistent with macOS shortcuts, too.
The Ctrl-based shortcuts are still there. We simply added new Meta-based ones to complement them.
Read the code and see for yourself: virtualdesktops, windowvieweffect: Use Meta key for desktop switching and Present Windows shortcuts (!8597) · Merge requests · Plasma / KWin · GitLab
It’s a good piece of news, but is good enough to be mentioned twice in TWiP? 
Merge request 8597 (Notable UI Improvements > Plasma 6.6.0) has a reference to bug 508187 (Notable UI Improvements > Plasma 6.7.0).
I am glad the Environment Canada crash bug is fixed. Thanks
Fair enough! That didn’t come through to me when reading the blog post.
I think I’ll move to Ctrl + X anyway, just to be less annoyed when Plasma 7 removes them eventually 
I have a 5K MST display, and KDE splits it into two equal halves. This issue doesn’t occur with Mutter on GNOME—only with KWin. It’s been reported for years; is it ever going to be fixed?
Hey Nate, amazing work and been loving plasma 6.6. one feature i think lots of desktops need to implement for a niche use case is virtual surround sound. i have made tutorials for it because pipewire allows you to do this with a config file. it would be rlly awesome if you could choose a audio device you want to do virtual surround sound for, let the user pick their own wav file or provide one, and kpipewire does the rest to create the config and virtual device so that the user doesnt need to learn these configs just to get virtual surround sound working, also some users wanted to have both virtual surround on there headphones and speakers so i think allowing them to choose multiple devices would be awesome. thanks again.
Didn’t even know there was a shortcut to activate the window demanding attention hooray! Another one of those everyday life savers!!
I’ve been waiting literal years for this to get fixed as well. I also have a 5k display.
Thankfully, seems to be fixed (they are looking for testers for the patch). I’d link you, but it won’t let me.
Really?? Where can I find this patch? Has it worked for you?
Oh yes, I’ve seen that link. I’m very noob I don’t have a single clue on how to apply that patch nor which version or Linux distro I should be using 
Yeah. I’m trying to figure out how to apply the patch as well. You’re not the only one lost
