KDE Plasma 6.7 will introduce virtual desktop switching in Overview using scroll or Page Up/Page Down keys, along with a new multi-printer print queue viewer.

Following the recent release of Plasma 6.6, KDE developers are now working on version 6.7. Among the planned features, users will be able to switch virtual desktops directly from Overview by scrolling or using the Page Up and Page Down keys.

On Wayland, Plasma 6.7 will optionally synchronize the stylus pointer with the mouse or touchpad pointer. Moreover, Printing will be enhanced with a new dedicated print queue viewer, replacing the legacy dialog. The new application will maintain simplicity for single-printer setups while supporting management of multiple print queues for both local and networked printers.

Regarding screen recording, Plasma 6.7 allows users to exclude specific windows from recordings via permanent window rules. Additionally, the screenshot utility Spectacle will get a new --release-capture command-line option, allowing the invocation of the “accept on click-and-release” behavior programmatically.

    I so wish they can bring back the one-wallpaper-per-virtual-desktop thing. I’ve been missing it since the KDE 4.x days, but now seeing the dynamic virtual desktops thing in GNOME makes me wish KDE had it as an option (like, you could chosse between dynamic virtual desktops or fixed virtual desktops).
