[kwin] [Bug 432536] Move Mouse To Focus doesn't work as expected on Wayland
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432536 --- Comment #6 from Yevhen --- Created attachment 165807 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=165807=edit Demo of the "move window" workaround >From https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/4721 I've learned that at least for now "Move Mouse to Focus" might work for some applications under X11 session. For now, users can try to use "Move Window" shortcut as a more universal workaround. 1. Assign some keyboard shortcut (e.g. Meta+Ctrl+w) for the "Move Window" action. it can be set at "System Settings" > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts" > "KWin" 2. Use keyboard only (don't use mouse or touchpad) while performing further steps 3. With Alt+Tab or Meta+Number switch to the window where you want to place cursor 4. Press "Move Window" shortcut 5. Cursor will move to the center of the active window 6. Press "Esc" key to cancel "Move window" action. Cursor will stay in the center of the active window. I'm attaching screencast that shows this workaround in action. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432536 --- Comment #2 from Yevhen --- I did some research on this 1. "Move Mouse to Focus", as well as "Move Mouse To Center", are still a part of the Zoom effect. So "Move Mouse To Center" doesn't work with the "Zoom" effect disabled. However, the former KWin maintainer previously announced the intention to move both actions to the KWin core (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/80bd289e065634cd034e69325c0cc15bf5b5e7de , "Better names for global shortcuts in Zoom Effect"), 2. "Move Mouse to Focus" somehow depends on the "focusPoint" which calculation was changed a few years ago (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/c1ea0412a45a64d99c120eedfa80ef376c7e6610 , "[effects/zoom] Implement focus tracking with QAccessibilityClient"). 3. I've also tried Kubuntu 14.04.5 live USB (with KDE SC 4.13) but unfortunately haven't figured out how to get the "Move Mouse to Focus" action to work. --- Conclusions: 1. "Move Mouse To Center" action still works well on both X11 and Wayland and doesn't seem to have a direct connection to the Zoom effect, so probably can be moved to the KWin core. 2. "Move Mouse to Focus" action seems broken even on the KDE SC 4.13, and if someone is going to fix or re-implement it, please make it independent of the "Zoom" effect's "Focus Tracking". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
