Bug ID: 466269
Summary: Improve Modifier Keys for Drag/Move Window Action with
Custom Tiling
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Custom Tiling
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: a...@triptech.net
CC: notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The new Custom Tiling is excellent!
As a user who uses ALT-drag to move my windows, it could be improved by
enabling ALT+SHIFT-drag or [configurable modifier key]-drag.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure as default with Alt as Modifier Key for Move (in Window
Behavior>Window Actions)
2. Hold ALT+SHIFT (ALT to move, SHIFT to tile)
3. Click and Drag to move window to tiled position
OBSERVED RESULT
Tiling of the window being moved does not occur if the SHIFT key is pressed
prior to beginning the drag.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window should drag to the tiled position if the shift key is pressed down
at any stage in the gesture.
It would be more intuitive for users of default config if it worked this way,
rather than requiring ALT > drag > SHIFT > release in that very specific order.
It would also be great if the Window Behaviour>Window Actions settings provided
more configuration, like setting the modifier key or key combo for Move+Tile
explicitly : eg Default might be ALT+SHIFT-drag, but user could set to
META-drag.
