Bug ID: 367763
Summary: Usability request: delay or resistance for Active
Screen Corners and Edges
Product: kwin
Version: 5.7.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@doubledog.org
I find it too easy to activate the corners/edges feature when all I wanted was
to access window controls in a window's title bar that just happens to be
positioned at the top of the screen. A user-configurable delay would let me
indicate that most often it's the window controls that I want, but with a bit
of a wait I can get the corner/edge features instead. Even better would be a
resistance that determines how hard I must press the pointer against an
edge/corner, effectively how far past the point would go if it could.
My use case might exaggerate the problem. I have four 1920x1200 screens
arranged in a 4x1 configuration. This means the far left edge is a long
distance from the far right edge as the mouse travel goes. Thus I have
configured my pointer acceleration pretty aggressive which results in coarse
movements and low accuracy until I get in the ballpark. I can easily activate
the top edge controls even when I'm not aiming for window controls but just a
mere hover over the window in general for focus change. Lowering the pointer
acceleration isn't really an option because my keyboard tray has limited real
estate so the mouse must work within an area roughly 3x3 inches.
Reproducible: Always
