kde-snap-assist interrupts KDE's normal snap shortcuts

Open doncsugar opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When snapping windows without kde-snap-assist, windows can be corner tiled by pressing meta + right arrow followed by meta + up arrow or vice versa (meta + up arrow followed by meta + right arrow). When kde-snap-assist is active, it interrupts the first tile operation and prevents the second one that would move a window to a corner. The user has to first hit esc to close kde-snap-assist to tile it normally.

I think kde-snap-assist could:

  • ignore arrow key presses that include meta and allow the normal KDE tiling. If only arrow keys are pressed, kde-snap-assist can move through currently open windows as usual
  • add a delay before it shows itself to allow for time to snap a window into the desired position

This option already exists in the script's settings since version 1.4 or so. It's called "Delay before showing the assist"
