Set new keyboard shortcuts for switching between desktop activities

  • 772

Is there a way to set hotkeys for Desktop Activities in KDE Plasma:

Meta/Win+Tab is good when there are only two activities; for more, I need a few more hotkeys. Is there a way to set new hotkeys for switching between activities.

  2. In KDE Plasma 5.10 it seems to be broken again but the solution was found in bug-ticket

    Custom Shortcats - System Settings

    Check activities list to see theit ID-s:

    qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities ListActivities

    System Settings -> Shorcuts -> Custom Shortcuts:

    For each activity [New] -> Global Shortcus -> DBUS Command

    remote program: org.kde.ActivityManager

    remote object: /ActivityManager/Activities

    function: SetCurrentActivity

    arguments: [paste activity ID]
