Bug ID: 498481
Summary: Feature Request: Support move + resize of windows via
shortcut
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Quick Tiling
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: mank...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This is a feature request to maintain support for a decade-old behavior that
allowed one to move a window to occupy the top/left/bottom/right half of a
screen. Full stop. Once moved, do not add any new features to window behavior
such as 'locking' it to other windows.
I've put this under the 'Quick Tiling' component, because one way to view this
feature is Quick Tile but without locking. In fact, Quick Tile of 1 window
matches the old behavior. Quick Tile only appears to add new behavior when
tiling >1 window. Another way is there is currently a feature to "Move window
[left,right,up,down]", but moving does not resize.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Quick Tile one window
2. Quick Tile a second window
3. Resize one window with mouse
OBSERVED RESULT
Second window is now locked to 1st window.
EXPECTED RESULT
Quick Tile should have an option for locking, and provide the ability to Quick
Tile without Lock. Alternatively, this has nothing to do with Quick Tile, and
the "Steps to Reproduce" above could be empty, because there is no way to throw
a window to the top/left/bottom/right of a monitor, but it seems like this
feature should exist, given that it has existed on KDE for a long time, and
exists on most other WMs.
