I have three monitors hooked up to two nvidia cards using proprietary driver with Xinearama on, RandR off, composite off.

Trying to enable keyboard shortcuts to switch screen focus (these called "Switch to Screen 0..1" and so on) for all the three screens, I am only able to keyboard switch between the screen with the actual focus and the last used screen. The third screen is out of reach of a keyboard shortcut.

Also "Switch to Next Screen" behaves the same.

Did I hit a bug?

Are you referring to a KWin feature? I can't find the shortcuts you are referring to in the Global Shortcut listing...

They should be there...they're in my 4.4.1 at any rate (and later I'd guess). As well as something called "Window to screen X" and "Window to next screen" which I presume is the equivalent of "Send to desktop X".

Unfortunately, I have only one monitor so I can't check whether they work as intended or if frasty has indeed run into a bug.

Here it is:

I happily use these shortcuts on a dual screen desktop, but on the three screen desktop these are rather useless because of "Meta+F3" not parsed.

Anyway "wrap around" for "switch to next screen" is not implemented.
It would be a must [for me].
