Bug ID: 371857
Summary: provide an effect which is a mixture of present
windows of current desktop and desktop list
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: support.gulp21+...@googlemail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Sometimes I end up with lots of windows on my current virtual desktop which had
better been on different desktops. Using the desktop grid effect (with present
windows enabled) for moving the windows around has the disadvantage that the
window previews for the current desktop are small (so distinguishing e.g. two
dolphin windows is hard) and valuable space, which could be used for bigger
previews instead, is occupied by the previews of the other desktops.
I suggest adding an effect similar to elementary OS's multitasking view[1] or
Windows 10's task view[2]: When the effect gets enabled, present the windows of
the current desktops like “present windows” in the upper 2/3. In the lower 1/3
show previews of all desktops, and allow dragging and dropping windows from the
“present windows” effect to another desktop.
(I know that there are shortcuts for moving a window to a specific work space,
but I prefer using drag&drop.)
