Bug ID: 478137
Summary: Desktop grid is not available as an option for screen
edges/corners
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-desktop-grid
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: putr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, the desktop grid is not available as a possible action/effect to
trigger when touching a screen edge or corner. In Plasma 5.27 this wasn't a big
deal since the overview effect is in the list and allows moving windows between
desktops as well as switching to desktops, but with Plasma 6 the overview
effect is far less useful for people with more than one row and column of
desktops (being effectively equivalent to present desktops in that case). As
per bug 477942 the desktop grid effect is explicitly recommended too for those
with such virtual desktop setups.
A mitigating factor is that it's still possible to access the grid by
triggering the edge/corner twice if the overview is enabled for those, but
having to flick the cursor twice seems like a problem when it comes to avoiding
carpal tunnel syndrome and the like.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the screen edges KCM
2. Try to assign the desktop grid to one of the screen edges or corners
OBSERVED RESULT
The desktop grid is not present as one of the options.
EXPECTED RESULT
The desktop grid can be selected for the edge/corner.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1
Kernel Version: 6.6.3-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The list of options for each screen edge/corner is getting rather unwieldy, so
maybe adding yet another option to it isn't a good idea without redesigning it
somehow.
