I wanted to make use of krunner to seemlessly shift betwen open windows across multiple desktops. I know I can currently do this but I have to write window to do that which tbf is convenient but can I not use ‘.’ for example instead of this or any other simple solutions.
I found this: KRunner - ArchWiki but having a disclaimer there seems to deter me from trying this.
System Properties:
Fedora 38 SPIN
KDE Plasma 5,27,9
Wayland
The shortcut (in settings) is called “Toggle Overview” (KWin) and default shortcut I think is meta + w
You can start typing immediately after meta + w, the searchbox is selected.
Edit
And make sure you have Overview activated in Desktop effects. You can also change the shortcuts from here.
@aakarshmj I’ve got your back on this one… CtrlF10 ‘present windows - all desktops’
I find it nicer with CtrlSpace
it’s my favourite switcher and the default (Ctrl+F10) sucks… so bind it to something handy.
I have Overview on MetaZ and Present was on MetaX
For sure, a shortcut like . or even w<space> would be nicer for krunner, like we can do with web shortcuts… it should be definable. It was a blind spot for me, I never think to use krunner for this job now (though this is where it SHOULD be done).
However, improving the krunner tool looks like a top candidate for a MUST HAVE - typing ‘windows’ is insane.
But this is why we love Plasma, 40 ways to kill a cat, but you can’t find one when you need it :")))))
Bonus
Yes, a big bonus here is that if you have a dolphin window with - hmmmm let’s see, you opened your ~/.config/fish folder there on another desktop.
