SUMMARY Originally I reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482297 in the intention of changing the default hotkey but it got closed after fixing another bug. Today I encountered a situation where it really wasn't an ideal shortcut: I used Super+Shift to drag a window to a tile. Earlier I think I pressed this shortcut for a moment and panicked that I had dead pixels because mouse mark had left a small few pixel sized spot on my monitor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use Super to grab a window from its body instead of its title 2. Use shift to be able to drop it in a tile OBSERVED RESULT If Mouse Mark is enabled, it starts creating marks while dragging the window EXPECTED RESULT Mouse Mark hotkey shouldn't clash with other functionality SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2
I'm thinking Super+Shift+Mouse Right Click might be a good binding for this. That way you don't draw on the screen just by pressing modifier keys

*** Bug 485620 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Ran into this on 6.2.5. As an addition to the conflicting defaults, right now the configure UI for this feature only allows you to set the four 'common' modifier keys to be held to start drawing. I am not very familiar with the internals of KWin; is there a reason that it was done this way instead of a normal shortcut? That way a user could bind anything they wanted to enable this functionality, such as additional mouse buttons instead of modifier chords.
