Bug ID: 406527
Summary: Request: Removal of destructive window shortcuts
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: plane.wan...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Currently KWin still supports destructive window shortcuts like "Close window".
That's a problem, an admin might have enabled it or changed the default
shortcut for all users because it's so obvious to the admin but unexpected to
users. Then a user might accidentely close one of its windows and lose data
because they used the wrong shortcut.
Therefore I suggest to remove all destructive shortcuts in KWin in order to
make it more user friendly and to have a predictable user interface with
explicit and clear destructive actions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change the default shortcut for "Close window" from <Alt><F4> to something
like <Ctrl><Shift><Esc>
2. Ask an experience Windows user to open the task manager on Plasma
3. The Windows user might use the shortcut <Ctrl><Shift><Esc>, which opens the
task manager on Windows
OBSERVED RESULT
The task manager doesn't open but the currently focused window gets closed and
the user might lose data.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window shouldn't close because someone hit the wrong shortcut.
