Oh, with Activities. Yeah. I can believe that it's buggy there. I can reproduce https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410594 and put it on the pile of things to investigate.

I believe this report exists already on bugs.kde.
2. Attempt to set up keyboard shortcuts that will walk forwards and backwards through windows such that two forwards followed by two backwards returns to the same window. It doesn't need to be default behavior, but settings suggest it can be configured, when in fact forward 'stacking' sequence and reverse 'stacking' sequence are two different seemingly random orders.
System settings --> window management --> task switcher
I'm still on 5.20 for what it is worth. I have just learned to live with the annoyances, but they are pretty visible and sloppy.

Keyboard-based multitasking is one of the most core expected functionalities of a DE and these are a legitimate annoyance for what is really the only modern linux workstation-oriented DE.

Good to see improvements in Gwenview - which is already miles ahead from eog.
