Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Konqueror does not allow resize with middle mousebutton anymore, it used to work with older versions of kde. I have set mouse actions in kwinrc to the following: [MouseBindings] CommandActiveTitlebar1=Raise CommandActiveTitlebar2=Resize CommandActiveTitlebar3=Operations menu For some reason resize is not an option in control center for CommandActiveTitlebar so I had to edit .kde/share/config/kwinrc I'm running SuSe 9 with kdebase 3.2.1-10 - Teemu Lahtela
I don't remember middle mouse button in the titlebar ever allowing resizing, and it doesn't make any sense.
This is a feature I used in gnome. I don't like gnome but I really like the easy resize of windows by just pushing the middlebutton and resizing, not having to aime the mouse pointer to the corner of the window. Resizing like this has always worked with kde and still works except in konqueror.
Perhaps you should describe in detail how exactly to do this resizing with a fresh KDE account. I really have no idea what you're talking about.
It works with kde after editing kwinrc and setting (or adding if it doesn't exist) section [MouseBindings] CommandActiveTitlebar1=Raise CommandActiveTitlebar2=Resize CommandActiveTitlebar3=Operations menu Then restart kde and now you are able to resize windows by just clickin anywhere in the active titlebar with the middlebutton. Every window is resizable except konqueror file management/web browsing window. This was the default behavior for middlebutton in gnome 1.
This titlebar operation options has never been officially supported, that's why it's not in the configuration GUI. And after editing kwinrc, it resizes here, just like if the resizing was done by dragging the top edge. You have most probably a conflict with mouse gestures, go to KControl->Regional&Accessibility->KHotKeys in gestures settings either turn off gestures completely, change the mouse button, or lower the timeout.
Thank you! It works now great after disablin gestures. Could this resize feature be officially added in the future?
I'll consider it.
You have the option to trigger resizing with middle-mouse-button and alt/meta-key in systemsettings in KDE SC 4.4. It is still impossible to set the action of the middle-mouse-button on titlebar to resizing.
