Description Fernando Marcelino Muniz 2025-10-25 05:19:08 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a single account on your PC.
2. Have a high mouse/touchpad speed.
3. Restart and move your mouse/touchpad.

OBSERVED RESULT
It uses the default/non-opionated speed, which is very slow.

EXPECTED RESULT
Since I only have one account, the login manager should just use the same mouse/touchpad speed that I have on my user account.

This sounds easy, but it's actually almost impossible to implement as described. That's why there's a "manually sync settings" feature.

Once we have plasma-login-manager, it *may* be more technologically feasible to do things like this, but it's premature for me to be able to predict one way or another.

Comment 2 Oliver Beard 2025-10-29 20:01:07 UTC

I concur. From a plasma-login-manager perspective, doing this outside of sync would still be infeasible. It would be best as a global setting that would affect all users on the system, and that could be challenging for reasons that I am unaware of.
