Summary: Fast reactivation prevention of WindowHeap effects is
counter-productive
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
Fast reactivation prevention of WindowHeap effects is counter-productive.
Prior of the rewrites of Present Windows and Desktop Grid, I could invoke the
effect, click a window and immediately initiate the effect again to select
another window, another virtual desktop or just to get back into the overview.
Plasma 5.25’s introduction of the WindowHeap-based effects brought a
reactivation prevention with a timed dead duration for reinvokeings that slows
you down. Right after an effect, I can click ten times without initiating the
effect again. This feels like a sticky key, it makes the desktop feel less
responsive.
I have made a *video comparison* between the old effects and Plasma 5.27’s
versions. Make sure to turn on audio to hear my clicks. I have mapped special
mouse buttons to the effects via xbindkeys.

EXPECTED RESULT
There shouldn’t be a waiting time until you can initiate an effect again. My
video makes clear how much faster you can work without those delays.
