Description tnemeth 2023-06-19 08:46:23 UTC
SUMMARY
It happens to me  that sometimes I want to pin a window in order to have it on some virtual desktops but not "all" virtual desktops. Would it be possible to have a menu open when clicking on the "pin" window decoration menu, with, say, the right mouse button (button 3), that would allow to select ,with checkboxes, on which desktop to display the window ?

You can select an arbitrary selection of desktops a window is on if you right click an empty part of the titlebar. Note that this is only possible on Wayland

I have been told KDE/Plasma on wayland is still not stable enough for a daily usage :) However I'm glad that feature has been thought about and that it will come to me in a (more or less) distant future ! Is there any chance this could be backported to X11 ?

Sadly not without breaking backwards compatibility
