Bug ID: 447838
Summary: Overview: Either dim panels or better make them
clickable/usable
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pereira.a...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Currently overview effect shows the panels (in my case latte-dock panels) but
they are not usable while on the effect.
It would be great if they were usable while on the effect, for example,
clicking on a launcher would launch the app, or switch to it if already
running.
If this cannot be done, it would be better to do like "present windows" and
just dim them.
Below, the post on reddit I posted for context, as I will make a bug report for
each item:
>I use "present windows" as my window switcher... (to me, its great!!).
>So I use one "present windows" shortcut to show "non minimized" windows on
>current desktop and another shortcut to show "non minimized" windows on all
>desktops.
>Also, "present windows" allow right button mouse click to close window,
>instead of middle one (really don't like it, middle mouse button usually is
>paste, not closing i think, at least to me).
>"present windows" also "unfocus/dims" panels, which overview does not. which
>would be nice if panels were "clickable" and working, but they aren't.
>"present windows" also allow for mouse button to "bring window to desktop",
>which fair, overview has the virtual desktop strip. But one has to switch to
>the other virtual desktop and then drag/drop the window to the final desktop i
>want the window to go to. So while it does allow the same, its much less
>efficient and cumbersome. (this would be solved if either desktops were
>scrollable while in effect or if all windows could be shown).
>so, tl;dr:
>configure mouse buttons (right click -> close/ middle click -> show on all
>desktops)
>show minimized or not (although this one is the least "must have")
>either dim panels, or better yet, make then usable while in the effect (making
>possible a latte-dock dash, like gnome overview)
>have key/mouse edge shortcuts for show current virtual desktop window/all
>virtual desktops windows
