Problem: While pressing Ctrl+F8 nothing is happening.
- Yesterday everything worked perfect.
- I tried to change shortcut, still nothing is happening.
- I don't know how to force "show grid" without shortcut, so not sure if it's shortcut fault (I think not).
- Since yesterday I have done few changes: was messing around with special application setting of few applications, changed named and number of workspace, turned on and off few workspace settings like "navigation wraps around" and "animation when switching", done automatic update without checking what I'm updating, change standard color themes, installed few applications (but none should change any settings if I remember right)
I don't remember anything else that could brake "show window grid", but was fooling around since I'm new to KDE.
I'm not sure where to look, I believe I checked system settings quite thoroughly and could find anything what could turn off workspace grid.

Most probable reasons:
- Disabled compositing - Shift+Alt+F12 (if shortcut not working, you should find this option in System Settings -> Display and monitor -> Compositor. Shortcut may be disabled by system, more in @svenevs )
- Disabled Desktop Grid (I learnt it hard way, that it's something different than Dekstop Cube and have different shortcut - that was answer to my problem). This option is in System Settings -> Workspace -> Workspace Behavior -> Window Management -> Desktop Grid
