That seems like too complicated a UI for the OSD. Can't you use the KCM for that? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > That seems like too complicated a UI for the OSD.

Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! The question asked was answered. :) You can do that in the KScreen KCM. Each screen can be marked as a replica or another screen, or not. Does this not work for you? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > You can do that in the KScreen KCM.

That's strange. You're on Wayland, right? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > That's strange. You're on Wayland, right? Yes, sure. :-) I also don't see the option in the master build of kscreen / systemsettings / kwin_wayland. You're right. Either it's disappeared, or it only ever appeared there if you mirrored from the OSD in the first place. The UI for it is correctly not shown - the relevant functionality does not properly speaking exist on Wayland. Fixing that is planned, once that's done we can enable it: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/issues/78 Well darn. Should we close this because it's already tracked with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/issues/78? sure, let's keep it in one place |
