Description Jim Jones 2021-05-04 09:35:30 UTC 
SUMMARY
Allow to select specific window types in the "present windows" effect

For example, if the present windows effect is active and different windows are show like some dolphin and konsole windows and the user clicks on a konsole window with the middle mouse button (let the user control this in the configuration dialog), only the konsole windows get shown

the method is already available in kwin

Comment 1 Jim Jones 2021-05-04 09:51:51 UTC 
adding meta keys like alt/ctrl to set shortcuts would also be a good idea imo, like ctrl+left click triggers the effect

Remove completely present windows

is ported as well, remove present windows which is effectively dead code
now

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.
