4.6 includes it for Wayland. They're in the late stages of beta testing the release, expect it in January likely.

(Specifically 4.6 dev 5 added it if you want to try it out.)

I will for sure!

This is a great news! Thanks for the update, do you have a GitHub issue I can track?

It works for me with 4.5 on Fedora 43 KDE plasma

That’s because kde does not run on Wayland by default but on x11. The issue is with Wayland… as usual.

KDE 6 uses Wayland now. I checked it with "echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" env", and it prints "wayland env". I’m just getting back to Linux after 10 years on Windows, so I’m no expert. I’ve installed the NVIDIA akmod drivers, in case that affects anything. Hope they fix it for everyone.

You sure you are not using the latest 4.6 beta? As suggested in other replies this is something that is being fixed in this release since it was broken before.
