Bug ID: 455555
Summary: Only one kickoff menu can be opened with a keybind on
a multi-monitor system
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently I have 2 panels, one on each monitor. One is based off the Materia
global appearance layout, one is an empty floating panel, with just a global
menu widget and a kickoff.
So first off, I have to set a keyboard shortcut for the kickoff to even open on
Mod key. I make a random keybind on both, but whichever I make last, is the one
that always opens. Meaning if I'm on monitor 0, pressing Windows key (mod4)
opens up the kickoff on the other monitor.
The kickoff on the first monitor is therefore only accessible through the
custom keybind. I think this is inconsistent with krunner's behavior. Krunner
will open up in whichever monitor called it. If memory serves me right, this
kind of behavior worked on X11 too. But I'm overstepping here.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create two panels
2. Add kickoff widget to both
3. Set shortcuts to both
4. Press mod key
OBSERVED RESULT
The kickoff menu that had its shortcut changed last is the one that always gets
opened.
EXPECTED RESULT
The kickoff menu in the same monitor is opened (if there is one, of course).
