Bug ID: 447840
Summary: Overview: option to show all virtual desktop windows
or switch to another virtual desktop while on effect
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
On overview effect, if a window is on another virtual desktop, I have to switch
to that desktop while on effect. If I just want to move that window (that is in
another virtual desktop) to the current desktop, I have to do:
* Initiate overview
* switch to another virtual desktop
* initiate overview again
* drag drop that window to the previous virtual desktop
* select the previous virtual desktop
It would be great if a possible solution to this:
* Either allow clicking on a key and it would temporarily show all windows on
all virtual desktops (ex: I am on overview, and pressing ALT key, would make
all windows appear
* Allow to switch to another virtual desktop (for example mouse wheel) while
not exiting the effect.
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
