Bug ID: 409349
Summary: Offer a window placement mode that remembers windows'
prior positioning
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
One of my persistent frustrations with KWin is that I can't get it remember
window positions. When I move a window somewhere and then close it, I expect it
to be in that same place the next time I open it. But currently none of the
offered positioning strategies offer this do what I want, which is basically
the following:
- If this is the first time that window has been opened, put it in the center
of the screen
- If the window was previously opened, put it in the same location on the
screen where it was when it was last closed
- If a second instance of that window is opened, offset it down and to the
right, as with the "Cascading" placement strategy (This is requested with Bug
58063)
This would match my mental model of how window positioning should work and make
window manipulation feel much more comfortable and natural. It's also what
other major platforms do these days.
