Description Mikel Pérez 2021-10-19 01:25:51 UTC

SUMMARY
sliding between desktops (horizontal) still lacks realtime gestures

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. drag 4 fingers sideways

OBSERVED RESULT
desktop slides until you release the fingers

EXPECTED RESULT
sliding follows fingers gliding

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 34
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
the Desktop Grid effect does have them but it's much less useful for switching fast (but both need them realtime gestures, not one or the other)

We have this now as of KWin 5.25 IIRC, maybe even earlier.
