I've just installed Ubuntu 19.10 with KDE Plasma and the Sweet theme.

What are the ways to manage open windows in Plasma? I don't see any bar that lists open windows.

Is there a "go to window" shortcut, where I can input a substring of a window's title and jump to that window?

  • Please [edit] your question to provide the output of qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation | grep -i composit. The reason is that Ctrl+F9 needs compositing to work. In a normal Kubuntu, compositing can be toggled with Shift+Alt+F12. – DK Bose Mar 11 '20 at 03:42

Ctrl+F9 zooms out and shows all open windows. Common keystrokes are listed at https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/fundamentals/kbd.html

You may find more useful information at https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/fundamentals/kbd.html and https://userbase.kde.org/System_Settings/Windows_Management

  • Sadly Ctrl+F9 doesn't seem to do a thing, even though it's assigned to "Toggle Present Windows (current desktop." – John Smith Mar 10 '20 at 17:51
  • I wonder if OP has somehow disabled compositing. Compositing is necessary for several desktop effects, including Ctrl+F9, to work. – DK Bose Mar 11 '20 at 03:43
  • Correct, compositing was disabled. I heard Shift+Alt+F12 disables all animations. Is there a way to disable all animations, while still having the compositor requiring functionalities enabled? – John Smith Mar 11 '20 at 11:13
  • @JohnSmith Ask a new question and please limit each question to one specific issue. – DK Bose Mar 11 '20 at 12:07
