tiling editor not starting

Hi
I can’t make tiling editor to show up.
I’m on KDE 6.3.5 / X11, Gentoo.
I don’t see anything about tiling in Settings->Window Management->Desktop Effects.
I see “Toggle Tiles Editor” in Keyboard->Shortcuts->KWin, pressing this combination does nothing.
I can see 3 pre-arranged tiles when shift-dragging my windows.
Tiles editor works from a different account.

My ~/.config/kwinrc has this snippet. It comes back if I remove it and restart

[Tiling]
padding=4

[Tiling][708e0b2b-28a7-53c4-a530-df3b1d4f2c0a]
tiles={"layoutDirection":"horizontal","tiles":[{"width":0.25},{"width":0.5},{"width":0.25}]}

[Tiling][e293dffc-3a80-5768-a238-836a90a9f06c]
tiles={"layoutDirection":"horizontal","tiles":[{"width":0.25},{"width":0.5},{"width":0.25}]}

Any ideas?

hi, welcome.

does the meta+t shortcut work on a new user acct?

Hi. Yes, it does work for a new or simply for any different account

then you borked your settings somehow.

you can try this method of trouble shooting to narrow down the issue, if you can’t restore your settings back to a time when i did work.

# brute force troubleshooting...
mv ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
# logout and log back in again to force plasma to recreate the folder with default settings
dolphin --split ~/.config ~/.configBORKED
# copy back half of the BORKED folder contents at a time and relog to see if issue returns
# if it does, then delete the folder again, relog, and only copy half of that previous half
# repeat until the culprit is found, then finally, copy back everything BUT that culprit bit
