Bug ID: 395804
Summary: Regression: "Switch Display" invoked via global
shortcut no longer allows keyboard-only operation
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.13.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: andydecle...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The new pop-up display invoked by the "Switch Display" global keyboard shortcut
is very nice, but also brings a regression in that it cannot be operated, or
even exited, using the keyboard alone. It does not take keyboard focus, so ESC
or cursor keys or Enter or any other keys affect an active window below the
pop-up, which I find unexpected and inconvenient.
In my case, I'm often using the global shortcut after hooking up a laptop to
one or more external displays and then moving across a room to operate by
wireless keyboard, which is now impossible.
I suggest keyboard operability to be restored by having the pop-up take
keyboard focus, having ESC trigger the "Leave unchanged" action, cursor keys
change which action is selected, and Enter trigger the selected action. I do
not know which action ought to be selected initially.
