Bug ID: 432927
Summary: Track mouse without needing to hold Ctrl+Meta, a la
macOS
Product: kwin
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ddascalescu+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The Track Mouse effect is very useful on large screens, but also hard to
discover
(https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/k7clw1/concentric_rotating_circles_appear_when_you_press/ges6ae9/).
How about triggering the effect when the mouse is moved rapidly in an
"agitated" back and forth (or figure 8/infinity) pattern, without the user
having to hold any modifier keys? macOS does this.
Not sure what false positives might look like (games?), but if none, the effect
could be enabled by default. I know I've been missing it for years too (and
would right click to see what popper up) until I discovered the setting.
