Bug ID: 405600
Summary: Click to cycle grouped windows (window switching)
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons-only Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org

CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
This is the standard behavior of Gnome Dash to Dock and Dash to Panel, and it
is also available on Windows (registry setting) and through Latte Dock.
Currently, if you left-click on icon that represents more than one window
(grouped windows), you are presented with full-screen overview of all the
windows. This is bad for a couple reasons:
- The windows overview suffers from an issue wherein the thumbnails are hard to
see due to the darkening effect. This makes the overview virtually unusable, at
least for me. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385522
- After clicking on an group icon, you have to move your mouse to a totally
different area of the screen. This could be a huge distance, especially for
touchpads.
I therefore propose adding click to cycle-grouped as an option, preferably by
default. This behavior is both more efficient and more standard than the
current one.
So to get to the second window in a group you'd just have to single-click (if a
window in the group is already active) or double-click. Much faster than the
current behavior.
