Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-11 22:20:02 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.82)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I just took a look how many LMB clicks it takes to redefine some keys. Result -- a lot.

So... :-) why not in-place editing?

Instead of displaying just info, put there an active widget plus clear widget. Just a bit more space.

USECASES:
1) I would like to assign key.shortcut to "walk through windows", I click on a button for such action, 
1.1) button would be pressed, I press win+tab, button would be now released (the same visual effect as in current assignment pane), voila, nothing more
1.2) oh, wait, I don't want to do this, I click again on this button, it is now released

2) I would like to set the default assignment for it, I click RMB on the button, context menu appears, I choose "set the default: alt+tab"


ADVANTAGES:
* clear design
* no animations (this is a problem since currently the content is constantly going down and up) -> no distractions
* less clicks
* time saved

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
