Bug ID: 433034
Summary: "Breeze" is a bad choice as the default task switcher
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ddascalescu+...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I found the default task switcher, Breeze, to suffer from significant ergonomic
issues if the goal is to switch task rapidly:
1. It forces the user to focus away from the center of the screen, which is a
bigger problem the wider the monitor is
2. It only shows a limited number of tiled windows in the left side of the
screen, forcing the user to *scroll* (horrible)
3. It requires scanning a visually large area (especially on portrait monitors)
to identify the task to switch to.
4. It looks very different from other task switchers found in other DEs. For
new Plasma users, this will be confusing (at least) and for experienced one,
who know what they want, it will be just one more thing to change.
Out of all the default task switchers, Thumbnails Grid is the most ergonomic in
my opinion, and I would like to suggest it as the default:
* shows window previews...
* ...that fit on one screen...
* ...in a compact area
* ...with application names and cons
