Bug ID: 501654
Summary: A way to change OSD (on-screen display) positioning
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: hi-an...@yandex.ru
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Split from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501625
The default positioning of OSD may be very disruptive due to being right in the
center of the screen. OSDs may be invoked e.g. by changing keyboard layout.
Ultimately, doing a lot of multi-language typing results in constant
distractions by this "Layout change" notification at best, or an actual
disruption at worst (the referred bug has a reproducer with Telegram, where the
OSD completely covers the text, making it impossible to see what you're
typing).
As mentioned in #501625, other users have also complained about it with regards
to changing volume while watching a video.
Best default positioning may be a subjective matter that depends on the
workflow. But what's definitely needed is a way to configure the positioning of
OSDs somehow, similarly to how notifications positioning may be configured.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open `systemsettings` and type `OSD` to the search-bar
OBSERVED RESULT
No way to configure it
EXPECTED RESULT
There's some option to change OSD positioning
