Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2010-08-11 01:53:44 UTC

Created attachment 49986 [details]
Mockup

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

More playful than anything else;

If a user "shakes" a window, any other grouped windows will separate until no more windows are left in the group. A small amount of kinetic energy might be applied to the new windows, if possible.

Please see the attachment for a mockup.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2010-08-11 18:26:22 UTC

I don't like the idea, as I consider Shaking as a non-intuitive way to 
interact with windows and because Microsoft Windows has a similar feature with 
other functionality.

I agree with Martin

I'm sorry but this feature request won't be implemented for reasons see comment #1.
