I don't want to sound like a broken record here, but this is exactly the sort of problem that being able to use mouse buttons in keyboard shortcuts would solve. Why create an entirely new GUI for this when we already have a GUI that can do this, and far more, and that users are already familiar with? -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
