SUMMARY When the Activity Manager is opened via screen edge, it stays open until the user interacts with it. This can lead to a slightly clunky user experience, especially when it's triggered unintentionally. It would be great to have an optional setting to automatically hide the Activity Manager after a brief delay (e.g. 5–10 seconds) if the user doesn’t interact with it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up Activity Switcher to be triggered from the screen edge 2. Trigger it. Note it doesnt close until the user clicks somewhere 3. It would be nice if it closed after a certain length of time, set by the user in Screen Edges - System Settings SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 60.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics
But why would you open it if your intention isn't to interact with it? In general auto-closing user interface elements represent bad UX. They take people by surprise and lead to things closing too early for those who are blind, old, cognitively impaired, have huge screens, or experience any other conditions that cause them to not notice things changing immediately. For those reasons, I don't think we can consider this, sorry.
