Bug ID: 493751
Summary: Corner barrier dead zone to avoid fighting with
overshoots
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Hotcorners and edges
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: elyp...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On multi monitor setups there is the barrier feature enabled by default. It
stops the cursor from easily crossing to the next screen if you want to
interact with something close to the border. This makes gui interactions a bit
more comfortable which is nice but if you accidentally cross the border you
have to cross the border again to get back to the original screen which makes
you overshoot and then you have to go back to where you originally intended to
go which, if it happens often enough defeats the benefit and the original
purpose of this feature. This is especially an issue with high latency displays
like TVs.
I suggest to implement a dead zone around the corner. So once you cross the
barrier it becomes inactive until you move a certain distance away from the
barrier. Overshoots would no longer be an issue and the behavior would be
intuitive, maybe even expected. This also makes frequent cross screen border
actions less cumbersome: for example if you have 2 maximized applications with
ui elements on the left and right side of their respective screens.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
move cursor to edge of screen
cross over barrier to the other screen
try to move back and notice the barrier again
