Mouse bindings with context.

[keshto]

I might be missing something, so forgive me if I did.

It would be nice to set mouse binding in context. For example:

• double click left border to resize to 50% (context left border)
• middle click titlebar to close window (context titlebar). Maybe the same for the task in the tasklist on the panel (context panel)
• Right click on desktop (root) to show menu (context root). Etc

Most of these examples don't sound like the compositor's job tbh:

double click left border to resize to 50%

Could be done as a plugin, but it would need to detect "borders" — I guess first couple pixels of the input_region is a good enough approximation? — but not every surface even has a border.

(But why would you want such an awkward gesture that requires precise cursor positioning? We have snapping to left 50% and right 50% of the screen in move…)

middle click titlebar to close window

Could be done as an option here for SSDs; belongs in the clients (/toolkits) for CSDs.

Maybe the same for the task in the tasklist on the panel

This is purely client-side. Whatever panel you're using is responsible for this. You might want to raise an issue in wf-shell if it's what you use.

Right click on desktop (root) to show menu (context root)

This is client-side too. A "root window" layer-shell surface can have a context menu (layer-shell can create xdg-popups).

Makes sense to me. The borders was just an example of a borders context sorry for lame use case example. The real use case I am interested in is the middle click to close.
