I'm using Debian 9.1 with KDE and would like to have a button to show all open windows. However I don't know what I should put as "Action" to get that it working. So how can I implement this? Is there a command for this?

Not sure I understand. You mean "maximize" all windows that were previously minimized (iconified)? Or see all open windows displayed as reduced tiles that do not overlap? Or something else?xhienne– xhienne2017-08-21 22:45:44 +00:00Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 22:45

See all open windows displayed as reduced tiles that do not overlap. So that I can click on the one I'd like to skip to.mYnDstrEAm– mYnDstrEAm2017-08-21 22:49:15 +00:00Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 22:49

1As far as I remember, using Alt+Tab showed the open windows as thumbnails if configured correctly. This was on KDE Plasma 4.Bob– Bob2017-08-22 00:55:01 +00:00Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 0:55

The default action to show present windows is
ctrl+F9
This will zoom out and show all open windows.
Alternatively
If you go to
System settings - Desktop behavior - Screen edges
You can set
present windows (all desktops/current desktop/current application)
On one of the 8 screen edge actions, that way you just push your mouse cursor to whichever edge you created the action for, and it will accomplish the same thing.

1Thank you ctrl+F9 was the shortcut I was looking for. However instead of just the keyboard-shortcut I need an action/command that I can assign to a button to execute this.mYnDstrEAm– mYnDstrEAm2017-08-22 09:50:45 +00:00Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 9:50

2Okay so I had to install xautomation (for xte) and the action/command I was looking for seems to be
"xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key F9' 'keyup Control_L'". It's not fully working but maybe I'll fix the problems later. The shortcut can be found under Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> KWin -> Toggle Present Windows (Current desktop).mYnDstrEAm– mYnDstrEAm2017-08-22 11:26:53 +00:00Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 11:26 -
1Got it working via this command:
"sleep 0.2 && xte 'keydown Control_L' 'key F9' 'keyup Control_L'"for xbindkeys.mYnDstrEAm– mYnDstrEAm2017-08-22 11:35:16 +00:00Commented Aug 22, 2017 at 11:35
Hi this seems like a KDE issue. In the KDE docs there are few shortcuts already defined see.
docs.kde.org
maybe ctrl+F10 or ctrl+F9. If one of those doesn't suit then you can probably look through the KDE docs to find the action you want.
