Hi, I have good and bad news for you: I am working on it right now and aiming for Plasma 6.1 for this feature. The current progress is that the LibEi integration into KWin works, code here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5412 Currently I am writing the portal + communication with KWin. I am sorry that I 'snatched' this away from you but seeing so many people excited for this feature is a great! Cheers David
