Description Petr Sumpich 2005-08-03 10:34:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Imagine mouse gesture goes like this:
1. Drag file|folder behind the borders of screen. It of course causes cancellation of such action.
2. But with future design of mouse and keyboard gestures it would open "all the connected computers" (via LAN, infraport, etc.) MENU. And user chooses where do she or he wants the file|folder to be sent via opened connections and allowed protocols.

Just dragging and dropping files|folders to another computer. There would be a "vault" folder on each computer with notification of such transfered files. Or it is dropped directly on desktop. Or the menu "where to copy it".

Wouldn't this be really "Net is just computer" as Sun once declared :-)?

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
