Well this is strange. I found this on a test laptop that I have Garuda linux installed on, and it works fine. But, on my main machine with opensuse, it does not work. I am getting the same behavior as Jack3103 (click does nothing). I made sure that overview was enabled, and I can toggle it with the shortcut. I also made sure that I actually had more than one virtual desktop enabled.
They are both using the same plasma versions (5.26), as well as the same frameworks, qt, x11. The only difference is the Garuda laptop is using a zen kernel, but even the version numbers are the same there as well. Let me know if there is something I could test, because I appreciate the widget and would love to use it.
Okay, I figured it out. I knew this seemed familiar. I had the same problem with the present windows widget a few years back. The solution is to go to (in this case): ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/SimpleOverviewPager/contents/ui/main.qml and change:
executable.exec('qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut Overview')
to
executable.exec('qdbus-qt5 org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut Overview')
So, just use the search feature to find any instance of qdbus and change it to qdbus-qt5. I tested this on this widget, as well as the present windows and a fork of that, and they all work now. Just to be clear, it was the present windows developer who figured out the solution.

7 Bumped it up to a 7 since it works now with the fix that shawnsterp fixed.

im having trouble finding the source code. can someone give me the link to it?
I think you just need to download the plasmoid file
Extract the plasmoid file - it is just a zip archive with the extension changed to .plasmoid. You can then open all contained files in a text editor.
