Problems after upgrade to 24.10

[djphilosophy]

I just completed the upgrade to 24.10. Two problems:

1. I previously had a keyboard shortcut of "Meta+Tab" set for "Walk Through Desktops", allowing me to quickly switch between Desktop 1 and Desktop 2. The shortcut stopped working after the upgrade, but worse, when I try to recreate it, the "Walk Through Desktops" function doesn't seem to work at all anymore, whether I set it to "Meta+Tab" or any key combination. The "Walk Through Desktop List" also doesn't seem to work. This is a pretty major problem for me as I used "Meta+Tab" to switch desktops almost as often as "Alt+Tab" for switching between applications.

2. The current VPN connection no longer shows when I hover over the Wi-Fi icon in the toolbar. The first line is the current Wi-Fi connection, and the line below now says "Middle click to turn on airplane mode". Is there a way to get this back?

Update with a resolution for problem 1: It seems the KDE developers had the "brilliant" idea of removing this function in newer versions of KDE.

Despite negative feedback about it from several users over several months, there's no response directly addressing the issue (i.e. "put it back") in that thread.

A makeshift solution discussed in that thread is to download this script: https://store.kde.org/p/2150135

Then install from terminal:

kpackagetool6 --type KWin/Script --install walk-through-desktop.kwinscript​
