They both have basically the same effect though: they affect how fast the pointer moves. It's true that the manner is different for the different profiles, but I don't think revealing that level of specificity is useful in practice. Mh, I am unsure. Without having a discussion in an issue at libinput, I would be completely unaware of what the flat profile does and that the slider basically adjusts the strength of the acceleration profile (which can mean speed _or_ acceleration, based on the selected profile). I also don't like libinputs current approach here, since it does not allow to adjust speed and acceleration independently. So this might not be a real issue of KDE, but it kind of "hides" the way libinput currently works from the user. |
