Bug ID: 486123
Summary: Allow moving/resizing of windows with mouse
extra-button
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdebugs.20.orz...@spamgourmet.com
Target Milestone: ---
On most window managers, you can bind mouse extra button for moving and
resizing windows. Unfortunately not in kwin, and most those window managers are
stuck with x11, not wayland.
To be clear, as an example, this is how it's configured in openbox:
<mousebind button="button8" action="Drag">
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="button9" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
What it does is that i can drag and drop a window by using button9, and resize
by holding button8. Without using meta/control on keyboard or the usual
left/middle/right buttons on the mouse. Buttons 8&9 are just additionnal
buttons on the side of the mouse (i use the thumb).
This is extremely convenient. I didn't care not using kwin until now, but with
the move to wayland, this is something i deadly need. Please !
