Bug ID: 384091
Summary: Add a window placement mode that remembers prior
window position
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
in System Settings> Window Management > Advanced > Placement, there are many
window placement modes you can choose. But none of them will remember the prior
location of a window when considering where to open it next time.
If you have a *specific* location where you want a window to *always* spawn,
you can of course set a KWin rule to force that position. But there is no mode
that will, in an ad-hoc manner, remember window positions for you--which is the
default behavior in most other platforms' Window managers (macOS, Windows,
GNOME), and arguably what average novice users expect vis-a-vis window
positioning.
This leads up undesired behavior wherein you deliberately move an application
window to some location to do some work, close it, re-open it later, and find
that it has spawned in a different location from where it was before. It would
be nice if you could tell KWin to always remember window positions for you,
automatically.
