Bug ID: 386361
Summary: "Switch User": Start new session automatically / Make
big icons clickable
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.10.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I see some optimization potential in the Switch User area.
First, here are two scenarios when the function "Switch User" is triggered
(e.g. from the application launcher)
(1) If there is only one active session we get this screen:
A big [(+) New Session] icon and two buttons below:
[Cancel] and [Switch]
(2) When there is another session, we have something like:
[Avatar of the other user's session], [New Session Icon]
[Cancel] and [Switch]
For scenario (1) I wonder: if there is only one option ("New session"), why not
start the new session automatically? The description of the "Switch User"
action already says "Start a parallel session as a different user". So it feels
odd to have to do one more click. And: the big New Session icon is currently
not clickable. One has to click the relatively small "Switch" button.
Intuitively, I am always tempted to click the big "+" icon.
For scenario (2) I propose to also make the big icons clickable so that one
click automatically triggers the Switch action.
Another related observation: When I choose Switch User from the Lock screen and
there is an unused session this unused session is not always shown to be chosen
(I could not figure out when it is shown and when not).
