Bug ID: 408390
Summary: Sticky screen edges for side docks in multihead
context. (Unity feature)
Product: kwin
Version: 5.15.90
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multihead
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
This is a feature I miss from Unity. They had a dock on the side that was
usable with multiple monitors thanks to the sticky edge feature. Basically you
had to apply pressure to move your mouse beyond the dock to the second monitor.
This feature ensured that that you could move your mouse all the way to the
edge (fitts law) to engage the dock, even if there was as second monitor
connected.
On KDE, you have to aim carefully for the side side, otherwise your mouse will
simply travel to the second screen.
Some people found this annoying in Unity and complained but I think it's a net
positive overall. Most people are not constantly moving their mouse between
monitors - one monitor is for information while the other one is where most of
the mouse work happens.
