Suggestion QoL: Hotkey naming.
I've run into the issue of not understanding the keybinds' naming, because of the ambiguity with:
Move U/D/L/R Up/Prev Down/Next Increase/Decrease etc.
Coupled with the issue of initially installing this from the KDE store, I was unable to understand why the hotkeys were not changing the window focus as described, as I had never used dwm. I honestly still don't understand how the dwm hotkeys function, as they don't seem to work in quarter layout, but work in column layout.
I believe that using these terms would be better for the global shortcuts:
Focus Left Focus Right Focus Up / DWM function Focus Down / DWM function
It may also be a good idea to rename keybinds just for the sake of grouping them together.
Krohnkite: Layout - Next Krohnkite: Layout - Previous Krohnkite: Layout - Monocle Krohnkite: Layout - Floating Krohnkite: Resize - Left Krohnkite: Resize - Grow etc for each type of bind.
Thanks!
I agree. There has been lots of afterthoughts, which causes some consistency issues w/ the terminology.
However, the thing is that KDE identifies shortcuts by name, and everyone must rebind shortcuts whenever the name changes. Maybe I can provide a migration tool, but it still require manual intervention from users.
So, this should be done only when a major version up is made, which I think would happen within several months.
