This didn't work for me but the installation instructions given in https://github.com/rliang/kwin-dynamic-virtual-desktops works. Just adapt those commands :)
@michaldybczak, did @j605's comment work? @j605, thanks for those.
I'll look into making a kwinscript for this so that it can be 'properly' installed. It's interesting that it doesn't work; have you restarted KWin/Plasma since installing? If so, what distro are you using?
No, I didn't restart kwin or Plasma. I use Manjaro KDE. Will also check out those instructions that @j605 posted. Thanks guys!
On Solus (Plasma 5.12.5), I managed to install it using plasmapkg2 instead of plasmapkg. @j605 instructions didn't work. There is a kpluginindex.json file I suppose you must modify too in order to do it in that way
@JMCavanillas, I didn't even notice I'd left the 2 off. Yeah, plasmapkg no longer works, ha! plasmapkg2 is what Plasma 5 uses.
I confirm:
kwinOverview]$ plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript -i .
make the script appear on the list without reloading. Now to find out how to activate it.
Since this issue is resolved, I'm closing the topic.
Instructions provided here lead to nowhere. I cd'ed to Dowloads and did:
I got output that it was successfully recorded.
and... now what? I don't see it on kwin scripts settings, shortcuts are a massive and complex window so I would need more pointers where I could find it (if it's there) or maybe create custom shortcut, if so how? At the moment shortcuts settings are usable but overwhelming and often confusing, because they require a priori knowlege where to find proper option/shortcut or how it is named (with localisation it gets even harder to track down the right element).
At the moment I looked under: global shortcuts KWin, but didn't find anything.
There is a way to install kwin scripts manually from a package but for that we need .kwinscript file but there is no such file here, so that's again a no go.
Basically, an average non-tech user cannot install it, at least not with current instructions. Is there a chance to put it on kde.store so we could simply download/install script the easy and user friendly way?
Thanks
