Bug ID: 478696
Summary: Show "Switch Display" on every screen and allow
cycling using shortcut
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.9
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nilskemail+...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Currently the Switch Display popup is only shown on the screen where the mouse
(or active window?) currently is. However, if this use can no longer see this
screen (e.g. the connected to a monitor which switched to a different input
source) it becomes hard to disable that output. The user has to blindly
navigate the mouse back to a visible screen in these cases.
Instead, we could simply show the popup on every connected screen and allow
cycling through the available modes by pressing the keyboard shortcut again
(similar to the task switcher). Other OS are already using this technique.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two screens connected to you machine.
2. Press the "Switch Desktop" shortcut (likely Meta+P, or a function key).
3. Press the same shortcut again
OBSERVED RESULT
The popup is only shown on a single screen and pressing the same shortcut again
does not rotate through the available options.
EXPECTED RESULT
The popup should be shown on every connected screen. Pressing the same shortcut
again should also rotate through the options similar to how Alt+Tab works with
the task switcher.
