I'm not sure if it makes sense, as this filter (per my understanding) was added
specifically to handle mouse movement from bottom left corner to the top right
corner. In case of alternative sidebar placement it probably would only cause
confusion (emotionally descibed by the previous commenter :) ).
I personally against any such sort of mouse filter, as it's directly against
any principles of good UX. When user moves cursor over button, they expect it
to respond by highlight effect, and/or get activated on left click. User may
not know about this whole filter thing and how it works, ending up in situation
when their mouse movement got filtered out — and they just sit there
frustrated, because the button doesn't respond to mouse movement and clicks,
with no visible indication of reason (such as "disabled" greyed out state).
Imagine being a first-time user of KDE Plasma and seeing this ("Linus test", if
you wish) — the first impression would be that the thing is broken and buggy,
that's all...
But anyway, all what I'm suggesting is just an option in settings. I'm totally
okay with "left sidebar + triangle filter" behavior enabled by default — as
long as there's easely discoverable option to change both. But even just an
option for right sidebar placement will already make me much happier.
