Bug ID: 489100
Summary: Regression since effect merge: no reliable keyboard
navigation for workspaces
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since the overview effect is now used both for the desktop grid and the present
windows effect, there are some regressions. Keyboard navigation for navigating
workspaces in the grid is no longer reliable, since depending on how many
windows there are on a workspace and how the effect ordered them, the amount of
arrow presses to navigate to the next / previous / above / below workspace is
random.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the overview effect in the grid mode (workspaces ordered as a grid)
2. Try to navigate via keyboard navigation
OBSERVED RESULT
Amount of button presses to navigate e.g. two workspaces to the right or one
down and one left is dependant on how many windows there are, how they are
ordered by the effect and which window is considered e.g. below in the effect.
EXPECTED RESULT
Have a reliable way to navigate workspace only, and not windows
(e.g. by either having a separate keyboard shortcut like wasd to navigate
workspaces, or an option to skip windows in this view)
