Walk Through Desktops



A script that enables users to quickly navigate through their previously used KDE desktops using a keyboard shortcut.

Walk Through Last Used Desktops

This KWin script enables users to quickly navigate through their previously used desktops using a keyboard shortcut.

It is designed as a reimplementation of a feature that was available in KDE 5 but omitted in KDE 6, providing users familiar with the older version a similar functionality in the latest environment.

Usage

  • Activate the Shortcut: The default keyboard shortcut is Meta+Tab. You can change this in the system settings under Shortcuts (KWin -> Walk Through Last Used Desktops).
  • Navigating Desktops: Simply press Meta+Tab to cycle through your last used desktops. Quick successive presses will continue moving through your desktop history.
  • Currently, the script has a fixed delay of 500 ms for continuation detection. If needed, you can modify this value directly in the script to suit your preferences.
