Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources In windows present effect is one thing which seriously undermines usability of this great effect. When I am navigating through windows with arrow keys I have to *shudder* think about it. Navigating with arrow keys is the most natural way of moving through presented windows with keyboard but when using only eg. Right I am getting to right border of screen and it stops there. Effect should create some logical rows and columns of windows and when coming across end of such row or column should jump to next one. With such navigation it should be possible to go through all windows by pressing only one arrow key.
Keyboard navigation in native layout mode does require some improvements but unfortunately making a fake grid won't work in all situations either. The best I can come up with is the one used in FVWM, an implementation can be seen in this script: http://blogs.gnome.org/metacity/2009/01/30/you-can-switch-in-a-direction/
OK, full grid is hard but what about linearization? Alt+Tab does something like that.

Remove completely present windows since it has been replaced by windowview, and Desktop Grid is ported as well, remove present windows which is effectively dead code now Related: bug 447001, bug 362844, bug 450487, bug 453426, bug 374481, bug 413342, bug 451150, bug 283333, bug 315314, bug 397500, bug 321236, bug 436572, bug 335782 M +0 -1 src/effects/CMakeLists.txt D +0 -45 src/effects/presentwindows/CMakeLists.txt D +0 -17 src/effects/presentwindows/main.cpp D +0 -18 src/effects/presentwindows/main.qml D +0 -75 src/effects/presentwindows/metadata.json D +0 -2054 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows.cpp D +0 -343 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows.h D +0 -51 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows.kcfg D +0 -104 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows_config.cpp D +0 -46 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows_config.h D +0 -487 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows_config.ui D +0 -36 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows_proxy.cpp D +0 -35 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows_proxy.h D +0 -6 src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindowsconfig.kcfgc https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/commit/ae1937badc097a864ecfc62e79e7a3899c3be572
Removing the old code doesn't make wishlist requests invalid for the new version (which has the same name, so they are the same thing from the user's perspective); re-opening.
I'll take care of this.
