neglecting for a while how actually give focus to the panel, api-wise on plasma side could work as this: Applet::addFocusWidget(QGraphicsWidget *) it's usedto add widgets that are supposed to request focus when clicked, thinking about it maybe we want addFocusWidgets(QList<QGraphicsWidget *>) for each one of those widgets applet adds and eventfilter (ugh!) monitoring the focusin events, in this case emits a signal that gets forwarded up to the containment up to the view and in this case the view will get focus hmm, maybe still a bit twisted, can still be smoothed a little bit > > But keyboard shortcut to focus whole Plasma (give it possibility to > > switch between applets and containments using standard tab and other) > > would be best probably (but still needs my code, or similar solution). > > just like alt-tab for windows, ctrl+tab (or whatever) would work for > multiple panels. -- Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
