Summary: Alt + Left Click to move windows has a tendency to conflict with creative workflow apps. While Alt can be changed to Meta in KWin's settings, Alt + Left Click shortcuts often cannot be customized in apps. Rather than making every user who runs into this problem change their settings, we should change our default settings to improve KWin's default usability. The fact that Alt + Left Click to move windows is older does not matter. We are trying to use Meta for global/shell shortcuts anyway. BUG: 399375 Test Plan: The relevant parts of the relevant tests pass. kwin-testInternalWindow fails, but for unrelated reasons that have something to do with XWayland.

<para> In the upper part of this control module you can see several
|
|
tabs: <guilabel>Focus</guilabel>, <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>, <guilabel>Moving</guilabel> and
|
|
<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>. In the
|
|
<guilabel>Focus</guilabel> panel you can configure how windows gain or
|
|
lose focus, &ie; become active or inactive. Using
|
|
<guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel> and <guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>
|
|
you can configure how titlebars and windows react to
|
|
mouse clicks. <guilabel>Moving</guilabel> allows you to configure how
|
|
windows move and place themselves when started. The
|
|
<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> options cover some specialized options
|
|
like <quote>window shading</quote>.

Once you have determined the focus policy, there are the window

raising options.

</para>

<para>With a click to focus policy by default <guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel>

<para>With a hover to focus policy you can alternatively use auto raise.

By placing a mark in front of <guilabel>Raise on hover, delayed by</guilabel>, &kde; can
|
|
bring a window to the front if the mouse is over that window for a
|
|
specified period of time. You can determine the delay for this option by using the spin box control.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Setting the delay too short will cause a rapid fire changing of
|
|
windows, which can be quite distracting. Most people will like a delay
|
|
of 100-300 ms. This is responsive, but it will let you slide over the
|
|
corners of a window on your way to your destination without bringing
|
|
that window to the front.

</para>

<para>

|
If you do not use auto raise, make sure the
|
|
<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> option has a mark in front of it. You
|
|
will not be happy with both auto raise and
|
|
<guilabel>Click raise active window</guilabel> disabled, the net effect is that

windows are not raised at all.
