Bug ID: 486520
Summary: Mouse Keys (move mouse with numpad) diagonal
navigation using two cardinal directions
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin

Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
It'd be nice if numpad mouse navigation would let you move diagonally by
holding two cardinal directions (e.g. down+right / 2+6), like you would expect
on a 4-way d-pad, in addition to the 1/3/7/9 diagonals.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn on mouse navigation with numpad.
2. Hold 2+6 (down+right).
OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor moves in whatever direction you hit first (effectively random if you
hit both at once).
EXPECTED RESULT
The cursor moves diagonally in both directions held.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 12
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We're using mouse keys on a wireless keyboard for lack of a convenient
mouse/trackpad, and don't have any issues with our fingers. I don't know if
this is intentional behavior to prevent messing up if you press multiple keys
accidentally. My guess is probably that just nobody thought of it, but just in
case.
