Bug ID: 365681
Summary: Edge Snapping/Tiling Actions on Vertical Displays
Product: kwin
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: lucas.hartm...@gmail.com
Vertical displays are useful for document reading usually, but not always, as a
secondary display. The current snapping/tiling is targeted solely at the more
common horizontal displays, and does not apply well to vertical orientation.
Current behavior when you drag a window to ___ is to tile it at ___:
- Top edge => Full Screen
- Left edge => Left half of screen
- Right edge => Right half of screen
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Grab and drag a window either by the title bar or by Alt+Click.
2. Drag it to an edges of the display.
Actual Results:
Window tiles (fills) part of the screen:
Top edge => Full screen
Center of left/right edges => left/right half screen
Top/bottom of left/right edges => quarter screen
Bottom edge => does nothing.
Expected Results:
Dependent on display orientation.
Horizontal display should stay the same, except maybe:
Bottom edge => minimize? (would feel weird if the menu were somewhere else,
though...)
Vertical display: remove left/right halves, add top/bottom halves. Maybe
something like:
top/bottom edges => top/bottom halves of the screen
center of left/right edges => Full screen
top/bottom part of left/right edges => quarter screen.
While this is a purely cosmetic change I believe it would make vertical
displays a little more productive. The current left/right half tiling creates
pretty much useless "stripes" (3 pages of unreadable PDFs) in my current
setup. Also placing windows in top/bottom halves requires me to place them in
quarter-screen then resize, and takes some time that could be saved.
