When using Meta+D to Peek at Desktop, it acts as a toggle between "peek" mode and show mode, requiring the user to activate the key combo twice when selecting something on the desktop behind an open window in order to drag/drop that selection onto the open window. It would be helpful if the key combo were to act as a momentary switch: It would "peek" while holding down the key combo, so the selection could be made; Then when the keys are released, the window would be restored and the selection can be dragged/dropped onto it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have an open window wanting a file from the desktop that is hidden behind the open window. 2. Press *and hold* the Meta+D key combo to see the desktop and try to select the file. OBSERVED RESULT After a short Delay, you get a strobe effect as kwin quickly oscillates between peek and show mode for the desktop [EPILEPSY WARNING!], making it impossible to select the file. EXPECTED RESULT Meta+D could be held down while the file selection is being made and then released to show the window again with the selection ready to drag/drop onto the window. To preserve the existing behavior the shortcut would continue to act as a toggle if released within the key repeat delay timer set up in settings > input devices > keyboard > hardware > delay: However if held past that Delay time the behavior would change to momentary and continue to show the "peek" rather than oscillate back and forth between peek and show.
That's kind of a cool idea. It would truly be a "peek" mode.
