[Feature] Scroll on screen border

[alexanderzeillinger]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like When moving the mouse to the left edge of the screen it should focus (and scroll to) the previous window, when moving to the right edge of the screen same for the next window.

Describe alternatives you've considered I am using keyboard shortcuts to do the same currently, but this would be a nice addition.

Thanks for the suggestion. You can achieve a similar result by using "Focus follows mouse" or "Focus under mouse" somewhere in Kwin's Window Behavior settings.

Thanks for the feedback. This almost works but it keeps scrolling when there are multiple windows on either side.

You are right, that would happen. Try setting a delay, maybe that will help.

I wonder how this would act combined with the Karousel setting to move the cursor to the center of newly focused windows.

In my experience, not great. It does keep the cursor on just the one window but it makes it a little hard to keep track of the cursor. I'd pick one or the other.

"I can do this by clicking the main button in the corner of the screen; each click brings up a new window. If I want to go to the third window, I click three times. I achieve this by adjusting the click policy in the Plasma panel, so that a click only focuses on the window.

I do this because clicking on windows without this enabled can be a hassle—if you’re on a canvas, it drags objects; in a spreadsheet, it selects or moves content, etc. By changing the policy to interact with the window from the second click, I solved this headache and also gained the ability to scroll through windows at the corners of the screen.

Just make sure to leave a few pixels visible so you can always see the windows on the left and right sides. Thanks!"
