Created attachment 181757 [details] screenshot of where the option should be available SUMMARY Just a request to have the ability to be able to meta + right click anywhere inside window to open the window operations menu for that window like how gnome handle it. It would be much appreciated as I moved from gnome to Kde hence I was having trouble regarding this. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open System Settings 2. Goto Window Management -> Window Behavior -> Window Actions 3. in the "Inner Window, Titlebar and Frame Actions" have the option of opening "Window operations menu" in any of the dropdowns. OBSERVED RESULT - There is no "Window operations menu" option in the "Inner Window, Titlebar and Frame Actions" dropdown EXPECTED RESULT - "Window operations menu" option in the "Inner Window, Titlebar and Frame Actions" can be selected and used by meta + whatever mouse click it's assigned to. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: HP
Many apps do not have titlebars and also picture in picture windows do not have any titlebars hence we cannot open their window operations menu from mouse click. I know there is a alt + f3 shortcut but meta + right click anywhere inside window is more convenient for my and a lot of others' workflow who've also moved from gnome to kde.
Thank you for the feature request! This is in fact already possible, the option is called "Show actions menu" and is available for Modiifer + left, right, or middle mouse button. The terminology is not optimal here as we have different names for the same menu in different places. Someone is already working on making these more consistent, but as the 6.4 series is already string-frozen to give translators time to work on a stable basis, it will not land before the 6.5 series. The current plan is to harmonize everything under the name "Window menu". I'll check if this particular use is already included.
To be exact, 6.4 will add "Show actions menu" to the options in the drop-down. 6.5 will change the wording, but the functionality will be the same. So for deffo9191, this will basically be fixed in 6.4, out soon.

Git commit 3156e90b35fbeae000186eb92397cdf5c011476b by Nate Graham, on behalf of John Veness. Committed on 29/05/2025 at 14:22. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Unify name for the "window menu" and its button This commit unifies the user-visible name for what I've called the "window menu", and its associated button. This is the button that is by default in the top-left of a window with the application's icon, and that shows the menu with Maximize, Minimize, Close etc. when clicked. At least at some point in the past, this was simply called the "Menu button" and that text was still in use in some places. More recently the name for the button (shown in the tooltip and in the Titlebar Buttons KCM) was changed to "More actions for this window". The keyboard shortcuts KCM called it "Window Operations Menu". The window behavior KCM called it the "Actions Menu". Now let's unify on "window menu".

Didn't realize the issue was already patched in 6.4 but I'm very happy nonetheless. Thanks a lot for all your work.
