Bug ID: 450487
Summary: Window close shortcut should close focused window in
Present Windows UI
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-present-windows
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lu...@lwsabota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the present windows UI, there is currently no way (that I am aware of) to
close a focused window using the keyboard. In order to close a window while in
the Present Windows UI, the user must press the red close icon associated with
the window they would like to close.
I think it would be a usability improvement to be able to close windows using
the configured "Close Window" keyboard shortcut. This would allow a user to be
able to get a quick visual overview of the windows they have open on their
desktop (or all desktops) and quickly be able to close unnecessary windows
using a keyboard shortcut they are already familiar with.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the present windows UI using the configured "Expose" or "ExposeAll"
keyboard shortcut (or the hot corner).
2. Highlight a window.
3. Press the configured "Close Window" keyboard shortcut (Alt+f4 by default)
OBSERVED RESULT
The Close Window keyboard shortcut has no effect while the user is in the
Present Windows UI.
The user must use the mouse to close windows while in the Present Windows UI
EXPECTED RESULT
