Bug ID: 405450
Summary: Extend Maximize/Restore action into a tri-state
Maximize/Restore/Minimize action
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: scripting
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pmarget...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
PROPOSAL:
Please change the System settings -> Window management -> Window Behavior ->
Titlebar Actions -> Maximize/Restore action into a Maximize/Restore/Minimize
action
ALTERNATIVE:
Currently it's not possible to implement something like this via KWin scripting
since there is no signal for "when you scroll over the titlebar". There isn't
even a generic "mouse operation" or "wheel operation" signal on titlebar.
If we had a signal to connect to, we could easily switch between the 3 states
using something like:
client.titlebarWheel.connect(function(delta){
// prevent default action somehow.
if (delta > 0) { // scroll up
if (!client.maximized && !client.minimized) {
client.maximized = true
}
} else if (delta < 0) { // scroll down
if (client.maximized && !client.minimized) {
client.maximized = false
} else if (!client.minimized) {
client.minimized = true
}
}
})
RELATED:
the client.maximized does not exist currently as KWin has a complicated
MaximizeMode enum that can be MaximizeVertical, MaximizeHorizontal,
MaximizeFull (what a normal user considers "maximized"), and MaximizeRestore
(not maximized). Since it was a complicated enum property, it seems nobody ever
implemented a simple bool maximized property

NOTE:
This bug from 2003 with the same wish was solved in 2005, but seems we've
dropped that code...
