I'm trying to reposition my second monitor, but kscreen won't let me do it the way I want it to. Namely, I can't get a vertical offset of ~60px because anything < 140px makes the second monitor snap to 0 on the Y-axis. Is there a way to disable snapping? If not, can it please be added? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move a second monitor down vertically 2. Attempt to get an offset <140px Actual Results: The second monitor snaps to the first, aligning the horizontal edges. Expected Results: Ability to finetune the position without the snapping feature interfering I see several possible approaches: - have cursor keys move the currently selected monitor by 1px (and a text hint stating it's possible) - two edit fields that hold the current offsets for the selected monitor, so it's editable by hand - a checkbox to toggle snapping For now I just edit the configuration file in /$HOME/.local/share/kscreen as a workaround, but this effectively stops me from using the kcm module to manage any additional screens because i will have to edit the config file afterwards anyway.
It used to be possible to disable snapping by holding Ctrl while dragging the output around, but looks like it got lost when porting to KF5, so yep, this should definitely be brought back.
