Bug ID: 405104
Summary: FEATURE WISH : Add an option(s) to avoid unexpected
reavelation of the dock
Product: latte-dock
Version: 0.8.7
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com
Reporter: mathoj...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It would be so nice if an option could be selected in settings to add a mouse
click to the pointer detection.
OBSERVED RESULT
In my example, my dock is placed to the left border and I have Firefox opened,
and the "Previous" button is really near of the border. So, if I do not take
care, most of the time, when I want to click the previous button, I will just
reveal the Dock. And the Dock will overlap the Previous Button, and I can't
click it.
On a long internet session, it will fast be irritating (and I don't think we
should take care to glide the mouse pointer with a surgical precision near the
borders to avoid an unexpected revelation of the Dock :) )
It's an example, but i'm sure there are many other with other apps or needs.
EXPECTED RESULT
A solution should be found to avoid it.
1 -> It could be an option to add a mouse click (right, middle or left), or
even a mouse scroll (up or down) when the mouse pointer is detected.
2 -> It could be an option to force the mouse pointer beyond the dock trigger
(like if we would like to move the pointer outside the screen)
3 -> It could be an option to go 2 times on the dock trigger (with a max delay
between). So we should just have to move the mouse pointer on the trigger (at
this moment, the dock knows we may want him to be revealed, but not sure, so
he's just waiting...), leave the trigger area, and come back to the trigger
area (at this moment, the dock is revealed).
4 -> Other better ideas are welcome.
Of course, the better might be to let the user choose between thous 3 ways to
show the dock.
What do you think about it ?
Thanks
