Bug ID: 488850
Summary: Desktop Effects kcm is suggested when searching for
"Shake Cursor" in System Settings
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: spikespie...@gmx.de
Target Milestone: ---
The X-KDE-Keywords line in src/kcms/effects/kcm_kwin_effects.json contains many
keywords related to the Shake Cursor functionality, meaning that it will show
up for search terms that users looking to configure this feature will likely
make.
Shake Cursor as a desktop effect, however, is an internal effect that will not
show up by default, and to the best of my knowledge this is not the encouraged
way of disabling the Shake Cursor functionality, and further configuration
options are not available there (only in the intended configuration kcm,
accessibility).
Less-enfranchised users who select this kcm from the search results will wonder
why this was included when it does not seem to contain anything related to
shaking cursors, and highly enfranchised users may wonder why disabling this
functionality was hidden behind an internal effect.
It's also unusual generally for hidden effects to be listed in the keywords - I
did not check all of them, but of the ones I did check, none were keywords.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Search for "Shake"
OBSERVED RESULT
Desktop Effects is in the search results
EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop Effects is not in the search results
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Current Neon
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.80
