Description Wolfgang Mader 2009-08-30 21:30:30 UTC
Version:           1.0 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-2-686

Dear Developers,

normaly, when I command my desktop to show me the running windows, I want it to show me all of them. Therefore I select the 'Treverse windows on all desktops' setting in the 'Window Settings' of the 'System Settings' tool. This action is bound for me to the shortcut [Alt]+[Tab].

But sometimes it would be handy to make KDE only show the windows on the current virtual screen, in other words, to have the option 'Treverse windows on all desktops' deselected. An 'easy' solution to this  would be to let the user configure a second shortcut, e.g. [Meta]+[Tab], or whatever else, for this setting. I do not know if this is straigt forward to implement, but I would be happy to see this feature.

Thank you in advance, and for the time to read this wish.

Have fun, Wolfgang

Will probably be part of the new implementation in 4.4
