Where are Desktop Grid settings in Plasma 6

Can’t find Desktop Grid settings in Plasma 6.

In Plasma 5 they were in System Settings → Workspace Behaviour → Desktop Effects under title Window Control (or Management).

In Plasma 6.4.3 they are not anymore. Desktop Grid itself is in Plasma 6 (available in Mouse & Touchpad → Screen Edges).

In Plasma 6 other desktop effects are under Window Management.

(By the way, Screen Edges settings are in a totally wrong and illogical place under Mouse settings - instead they should be in Display & Monitor)

Perhaps you could use a finger, or a pencil instead…

It’s a valid argument.

The idea behind the current placement was that screen edges can only be hit when using a pointing device, making it inherently a subset of the mouse and touchpad settings.

However maybe that’s too convoluted, and it should just live in the Display & Monitor section instead. I think this would be a reasonable change, and I submitted a Merge Request for it: kcms/screenedges: move to Display & Monitor group (!7958) · Merge requests · Plasma / KWin · GitLab
