I'd like to be able to trigger the "Operation Menu" on windows I've set to "No titlebar and frame". The most natural way is with my preferred meta key and a right click. Please consider adding an "Operation Menu" option to the "Window Actions" "Inner window, titlebar and frame" dropdowns. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
You can press Alt+F3 to open said menu. Re-assigning to kwin as it is responsible for window decorations.
Created attachment 108221 [details] Provisory patch for the implementation I've done the implementation. The problem is that as soon as you activate the operations menu using the mouse, you'll get a SIGSEGV for some weird painting reason.
@Marcos: could you add the backtrace? Then I might be able to give you a hint where the problem is.

My bad, I don't get the SIGSEGV, maybe it was something that happened one time for whatever reason But when you invoke the operations menu by the mouse, you are stuck with the menu open but can't click anywhere outside the menu, also you can't close it by pressing esc or invoking another operations menu. The way that I use to get back to control my DE by mouse, is by invoking the krunner using alt+f2. I'm looking at the code in the meantime to figure out what is the problem here.
It's a problem with the grab. Probably KWin holds a grab from the moment when you click. Then Qt tries to perform a grab when the menu opens, that fails and so Qt doesn't listen for the release.

Yesterday I've done some debugging and found that in the show method of the operations menu instance, there's a check if wayland is being used, if it is the QMenu::popup is called, if it isn't the QMenu::exec method is called, the popup method works perfectly (I'm using Xorg) while the exec doesn't. But the interesting part is that this show method is called from the mouse and from the keyboard, and just acts strange with the QMenu::exec by mouse.
Hello Marcos, any progress on this patch? From what I gather, under System Settings > Window management > Window behavior > Window actions > Modifier key Meta + Right click, there's still no option for this, so it wasn't merged yet. Since the patch was mostly done at that time, you could work on it again and create a WIP merge request over invent.kde.org for proper code review.
