Kmail composer

Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:02 am
Is there anyway to keep "composer window" always on top and not in background?
Everytime i press "NEW" nothing seems to happened just because the composing window is below the main Kmail one. So I have either switch the task or minimise Kmail in order to write the email.

Edit. This is apply when replying an email too.

Hmm, the composer does receive focus correctly for me... (KDE Neon Git unstable)

Anyways, one way to work around this issue could be to create a KWin Window rule for the composer and set the "Start placement" ("Anfangsplatzierung" in german) to "Over main window" - this should theoretically solve the problem.

I already set a rule that allow Kmail to start minimised on startup. I might do something wrong but if i change the rule it will do it for the whole program and not for just the composer window. If i get rid of the option to start minimise the composing window it shows normally above the main one.

I have no idea how to create a separate rule from a dialog window like composer. Either "special window" and "special application" settings seems to apply on every window (main included) even if i start right-clicking from the composer one.

At the moment i have two options:
1- avoid Kmail minimise from startup, then start it manually after reboot.
2- switch task every time i have to write a new email
