Bug ID: 483500
Summary: Window titles should have a unique and consistent
pattern that can be matched with a simple regex
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: gravy_starving...@simplelogin.com
Target Milestone: ---
Since window types don't exist/work in wayland, window rules for the different
windows in an application are dependent on matching the window title, so these
different window types should each have some unique text or pattern that allows
a simple regex to match just that window without the possibility of false
positives/negatives.
This is aimed at the main window's title, which tends to be so short and simple
that the only consistent text to match is the application's own name and maybe
a preceding em dash that tends to end up being a substring within other
windows' titles in the application, requiring a regex that explicitly excludes
every possible other window in that application and has the potential for a
false negative if the title contains the name of a file/folder that matches the
excluded text.
Simply adding a prefix to the window title to allow for a
"[prefix][wildcard][application name]" pattern should be enough.
