IHMO "Screen Edges" conveys the meaning more directly than "Action Edges", "Active Edges" or "Active Zones". I agree, the current name seems fine. In fact this *is* about the physical edges of your actual screen; the actions you can configure here are triggered when you move the cursor onto the pixels of those physical edges. |
Created attachment 172539 [details] Screen Edges in settings SUMMARY The rationale behind requesting the name of "Screen Edges" to be changed is pretty simple: It can be confused with screen edges. I.E., the edges of your physical screen. I also included a screenshot of the feature I'm talking about just in case. This makes talking about the feature confusing, and also makes some ancillary features such as the "Screen Edges" window effect to be confusing as well, the natural assumption (especially to those new to KDE) would be that moving a window / cursor to the edge of a screen should make the edge of the physical screen have the effect, rather than the edge defined by the "Screen Edges" feature. Perhaps changing it to something along the lines of "Action Edges" or "Active Edges" could alleviate the confusion? Or potentially "Active Zones", considering the "Edges" moniker is only accurate if you configure the feature to use the edges, rather than the corners.
