--- Comment #7 from FiveYellowMice <hkz85825...@gmail.com> --- I too find it distracting to have a notification pop in and out of existence as I switch the cursor between screens. It also covers a corner of the screen constantly. An option to disable it would be very useful. Moreover, while telling the user about an escape hatch is important, having it occupy a decent part of the screen constantly feels a little extreme, especially after the user becomes well familiar with the software using the portal. Perhaps having the notification expire in a few seconds, like how browsers show "press Esc to exit fullscreen", will suffice. Although this would make it more distracting if it still appears every time the cursor moves out of the host screen. So maybe it can show the notification only once per session, on the first time input is captured? Having the notification disappear on a timer instead of immediately upon moving back to the host screen also gives the user a chance to click on the "configure notification" button (or a hypothetical "do not show again" button). Alternatively, just tell the user about the key combination in the confirmation dialog. This seems to be the responsible commit: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/commit/c5de844f11710ef1c2b5844e67fd1d5035173b83 . I'm willing to write a PR if the above suggestion is deemed helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
