Hi,
From Kde settings, you certainly know that one may bind screen corner behaviors so that it shows the application navigation page when placing the mouse in a chosen corner.
Wouldn’t it be convenient to also have the possibility to just quickly switch between the 2 most recent applications from the current desktop instead of opening the applications navigation page, then have to place your mouse on an application, and then click?
1 action instead of 3 to sum it up
Hi - interesting idea, it is possible to summon the Task Switcher through one of those settings, but I see where you’re going with having it be a “mouse swipe” to perform the equivalent of an Alt-Tab on the keyboard.
I don’t know what’s possible with the underlying code, but I wonder if it would be feasible to have a general “custom shortcut” assigned to one of the corners like that?
As far as I know, kde is the only desktop environment that doesn’t have a user custom corner binding option. There are tools available for pretty much any other DE and non-DE. Granted, on X. But given the fact that even stuff like openbox can now run on wlroots ( waybox and all that) and stuff like skippy-xd has seen a revival…myeah…it’s only a matter of time someone will come up with wayland compatible custom corners in some form. There used to be custom actions available for 5-ish at some point but let me tell you this…You could ( probably still can) run xd hot corners on kde. And you could/can assign pretty much anything to the corners with that thing. And that stuff was written a looong time ago.
So, something like an alt tab would be easy peasy with an xdotool key or its equivalent kdotool.
Any custom shortcut would do it indeed and great to open something like Yakuake in 1 mouse slide but I find the alt tab really missing for a basic quick task change.
I may try xdotool than you
Umm…not sure what you mean by that.
