[kwin] [Bug 406852] _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR hint should also temporarily turn off "disable touchpad while typing" feature
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406852 --- Comment #9 from David Edmundson --- No, but (as I said in the first comment) we already have a little UI+daemon for toggling on and off a touchpad, exapnding that UI to also handle turning on/off this one flag within a touchpad is IMHO feasible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406852 --- Comment #8 from Martin Flöser --- Sorry, but this is even not a bug for anything in kde - we cannot identify games. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406852 --- Comment #7 from Eike Hein --- It's bugs.kde.org, not bugs.kwin.org. "Not A Bug" is appropriate when there's no bug, but there's a bug here. Products and titles can be changed. Having no idea doesn't make the bug go away and doesn't mean it shouldn't be tracked. Closing a ticket is data loss, and wastes the time of contributors (i.e. the bug reporter). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406852 --- Comment #6 from Martin Flöser --- Sorry, but not a bug is the correct solution from KWin perspective: we don't control input devices on X11. I do not have any idea how to implement this as there's just no way to detect games. All you could do is having a list of window classes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406852 Eike Hein changed: What|Removed |Added CC||h...@kde.org --- Comment #5 from Eike Hein --- > I don't think many gamers play an FPS with a trackpad. I do occasionally. For certain types of first person games (e.g. Gone Home, Firewatch, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture) it's fine. I've run into this bug and it's extremely annoying, and basically impossible for most users to figure out. I agree about not abusing the window hint, but "Not A Bug" is also definitely the wrong resolution here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Re-titling accordingly. FWIW it's not just about FPS games; most games involve some mixture of keyboard and cursor input and this feature is problematic for all but the most sedate in pacing. My current favorite is Endless Sky (https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky), which is primarily keyboard-based, but selection is mouse-based. When I'm piloting my ship with the keyboard often I want to quickly click on a visible ship, which doesn't work with my laptop's touchpad when "Disable while typing" is on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
