Bug ID: 475876
Summary: Support additional mouse keys as modifiers
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdebugs.20.orz...@spamgourmet.com
Target Milestone: ---
In most window managers, but not kwin, I can configure my mouse additional keys
as modifiers.
I think plasma/wayland supports configuring those keys as a plain input (says
'x', or even a sequence of inputs i suppose). But, to my knowledge, doesn't
support modifiers yet.
I.. think (but not sure), that it's handled by kglobalaccel.
There are lot of tickets about mapping keys/macros to mouse buttons, but this
is not what i'm talking about.
The more obvious use case is to use those buttons to move/resize windows. This
is of uttermost usefulness, believe me. And this is the reason i use kde/plasma
without kwin for a very long time. And now that's the last point preventing me
to switch to wayland, as most 'traditional' window managers haven't moved to
wayland.
As an exemple, here's how it's configured in openbox:
<mousebind button="button8" action="Drag">
<action name="Resize"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="button9" action="Drag">
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
