KWin Toggle Present Windows broken

Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:28 am
Hi,

I'm running Kubuntu 19.04 with KDE 5.16.2 using backports. I have been using the global shortcut 'Toggle Present Windows (All Desktop's)' successfully to manage tasks since I installed Kubuntu a week ago but today on boot it's not working. None of the 'Toggle Present Window's' shortcuts are working and don't do anything (Ctrl+F7/F9/F10). I've tried rebinding the keys but still no ball. The installation was clean and i've made no notable customisation to the shortcuts to create a clash.

Also of note is that I was running KDE Neon (18.04 with 5.16) for 4 months prior to switching to Kubuntu and I had exactly the same issue come up around the same time as 5.16 was released.

Not sure if there is any more info I can provide to help work through this, please let me know. I can also file a bug if needed

Thanks
Sunny

Solved the problem. Apparently for this effect to work, Compositor needs to be enabled. Here is the link to the original post. Credits to @kdemeoz https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kde-plasma- ... en/76971/9
