A very neat function I found is the ability to maginify easily the currently active (focused) window! This is tedious if you do it manually with the existing zoom controls -> but easily implementable with a shortcut that will have the work done for you. Didn't invent this idea though: Function exists like this in the compiz/fusion zoom plugin. Reproducible: Always Not sure but I think this could also help with this feature request here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=227284

Hmmm... I don't agree with the "Resolved as Duplicate" decision: The title of the duplicate bug: zoom entire window instead of a small portion does not state what I am looking for in my newly posted feature request. Like the author of the older feature request 227284 stated: "maybe by reducing the width and height of the window and then stretching to a desired size" I understand that as: You are in a fullscreen firefox window and what you hit the zoom keyboard shortcut -> The firefox window gets SMALLER << this is the reducing the width and height part AND (at the same time) the desktop zoom is zooming ONTO the window <<< this is the stretching part And I had only suggested to add an option to add a keybaord shortcut for the /latter/ part ( zooming /onto/ a window (that is smaller than the fullscreen) ) My suggestion is very simple and easy to implement (you have the zoom, you just need to: (a) take resize the zoom-area to the /size/ of the currently active window (b) move the zoom-area to the position of the currently active window I want to zoom onto a window that is somewhere on the screen, /without/ changing the size of any window.
for me the issues are close enough to be considered as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 227284 ***
