Bug ID: 366033
Summary: Imrove The Activity Switcher user interaction
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.2
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Activity Switcher
Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Reporter: mvourla...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
In the current implementation when the user activates an activity the activity
switcher hides itself, there are some issues with this:
1) in this way it is very difficult for a user to walkthrough in its activited
activities, he has to activate the next one and in order to go to another must
open the activity switcher again
2) when the user closes its current activity the user is going in an activity
who he hasnt selected to go
3) when the user activates a closed activity the closed activity is activited
and the activity switcher hides itself even though the user may not want to
work currently with that activity.
this approach is a little bit of an enforcement for the user to know every time
exactly in what activity to work on.
I propose a little bit more aggresive approach which is similar to the widgets
explorer one.
The widget explorer does not hide itself if the user does not decide to close
it from its close button.
For the activity switcher a better approach I think is the mouse hovering. If
the mouse is inside the activity switcher then the activity switcher is not
hiding until ther user leaces the activity switcher. I think this would make
much easier to use the activity switcher and activities as a consequence.

michail
