In Plasma Mobile 5 using gesture mode, I was able to swipe up to open the task switcher. If I then touched a window (task), it maximized said window. This doesn't happen in Plasma Mobile 6 anymore. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Resize window, for example using Super + Arrow Down. 2. ? OBSERVED RESULT There is no way to maximize windows. EXPECTED RESULT By default, there should be a relatively easy way to maximize. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: postmarketOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.6.25-mt8183 OS-Type: 64 Processor: 4 × ARM Cortex-A53, 4 × ARM Cortex-A73 Memory: 3,8 GiB ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is important, since Firefox sometimes gets unmaximized when using the drawer in the top right (to enable wifi for exmaple).
One suggestion how this could be fixed: show a maximize button in the task switcher if the window isn't maximized. I would suggest the top left, so it isn't right next to the close button.
In which cases do non-maximized windows occur? In Plasma Mobile KWin should be configured to maximize windows by default anyways except for when Docked Mode is active (which also re-enables window decorations so you can maximize by dragging the window decoration to the top).
(In reply to Luis B from comment #2) > In which cases do non-maximized windows occur? You can deliberately unmaximize a window using a key combination such as Super + LeftArrow, which I use regularly in school to cite texts or similar. As previously mentioned, Firefox specifically often gets unmaximized when using the top right drawer (for example to enable Wi-Fi). Firefox has some small non-obvious places by which you can double-click the window to maximize it, those are hard to press with a touchpad though, and basically impossible to press using just the touch screen. > In Plasma Mobile KWin should be configured to maximize windows by default (…) This is the case. Anything maximizable is maximized by default.
Ah interesting so it seems we should disable some window management keyboard shorcuts when not in docked mode. This would prevent this issue from occurring.
