--- Comment #10 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Alex Folland from comment #9) > It would have been useful for me when I didn't realize my PC wasn't frozen > and thought my GPU was messed up it would only help you if you checked the "reset zoom level after timeout" checkbox, which if you were on that settings page checking some boxes, you should already be aware of what zoom effect is and how it works, and thus you wouln't probably want to turn it on. and checking it on by default is certainly evil. maybe instead what makes sense is a hotkey that zooms in only while you hold it down, and quits zoom as soon as you release. With zoom in animation it should be intuitive too - user presses the hotkey, screen zooms in and then instantly out and he realizes he needs to hold the keys (or just meta key) to keep magnification. > is only a problem for an extreme minority of users it is now an accessibility feature, not just a desktop effect anymore, so i guess the logic here is that it is made for the minority of people in particular. maybe having the same effect as accessibility (with saving to disk by default) and as a desktop effect (with no saving to disk and with visual feedback "you are in zoom mode" and with "reset to 100% after n seconds" option) while using same kwin logic for both and same hotkeys, and make them mutually exclusive, maybe that makes sense -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
