Position where to place that button
Demonstration of screens are enumerated not from left to right |
||
KWin orders screens from left to right. There's no need for such a functionality. Created attachment 116694 [details]
Demonstration of screens are enumerated not from left to right
No, in my case they are not enumerated from left to right.
But if you drag a window across screens, is the order correct? I.e. a window dragged to the left screen should appear at the left screen. Yes. Monitors configuration corresponds their physical locations. Instead of numbering the rule should show the connector names. We have Identify button in KScreen KCM, but it does not show output numbers. In fact, outputs are never numbered in UI, except for the new concept of priorities which replaces the legacy concept of having a single primary output. *** Bug 488599 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 116317 [details] Position where to place that button When you want to create a rule for some window to appear on a specified screen, you do not know which screen has which number. It would be good to add a "Identify outputs" button near Screen rule (see attached image or linked video). This button can be found in Monitor settings, but I have noticed that it just shows screen names, but not numbers. So we need to fix that as well.
