Desktop cube with mouse click

Fri Sep 21, 2012 4:51 am
Hi, i'm running KDE 4.9.1-3 on Archlinux, I have a question regarding the behavior of KWin desktop cube.
Is there any way to activate the desktop cube with the mouse click or any combination of a mouse click and keyboard keys like it does in Compiz? The custom shortcut apparently only allows keyboard keys.
Oh, and while I'm at it, is there a way to make the desktop cube switch animation use the same background that you set on the "Desktop Cube" options on the desktop effect options? It only shows a black background when you switch virtual desktops with the cube animation.

I answered in the Arch forum, here's a quote for the lazy:

Unfortunately KDE Workspaces don't support mouse bindings at the moment, but you can use something like xbindkeys + dbus or xte to get what you want. More information here: http://hanschen.org/2009/10/13/mouse-shortcuts-with-xbindkeys/

Thanks! That makes sense. If someone can confirm something about the desktop switch background, I'll mark this as solved.
