> So perhaps it will make sense why I preferred the behavior in Plasma 5.5
Now I understand.
Yes, the shortcuts are now meant only as the alt-tab analogue for activities.
Previously, meta+tab was confusing to the users, and this change was requested
and then vetted by the plasma team.
Binding this to mouse buttons is an evil thing to do, but I do understand your
point of view. Mind that this way you will have a problem if you cycle through
activities like that since plasma will think all activities have been used
recently.
My suggestion is to bind one of the mouse buttons to toggling the activity
switcher, and then choosing the exact activity you want to switch to.
If you do not want this, keep reading :)

The shortcuts have been renamed to "Walk through activities" like it is for
alt+tab and "Walk through windows". The old names should not be visible in the
UI anywhere.

Now, while this behaviour is not going to be reverted to the old one, the old
behaviour can be /easily/ replicated. You can get the files next-activity.sh
and prev-activity.sh from [1] and bind them to your mouse buttons.
These scripts will become a part of kactivities-cli command-line utility so
that people do not need to do hacks like the manual keyboard shortcut
invocation like you have done.
