Although the Plasma 6.6 desktop has not yet been released (scheduled for February 17), KDE developers have already begun work on version 6.7, as some early details about its planned features are emerging.

One of the most visible additions is a new switch in the Brightness and Color widget that lets users toggle between light and dark modes instantly. Additionally, KDE developers note that a smooth cross-fade transition may be added later, but the current work focuses on functionality.

KDE allows key binds for everything, so you'll be able to make it instant

Sure, it allowed for that before this update as well.
