Right click in Desktop Grid

Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:55 am
I really started enjoying the Present Windows effect some time back and after a while I found out that Desktop Grid gave me the option to drag and drop windows between desktop while "presenting" them.

With Present Windows there is also an option to decide what action is taken when right-clicking a window. I've found it very useful to set this to closing the window, to make it easy to clean up my workspace. However, in Desktop Grid, the right click action seems to be locked to making the window visible on all desktops, without any option to change this.

Is it possible to change the right click action of Desktop Grid somewhere? So that I can close windows by right clicking them in Desktop Grid?

If not, maybe this could be implemented? I would be happy to have a look at it if someone can point me in the right direction as to where in the KDE source code I can find the Present Windows and Desktop Grid effects. I've never contributed to the KDE project before, but maybe this could be a start? :)

The source code in question is located in the kde-workspace git repository on git.kde.org, in the kwin/ folder. KDE source code can be checked out through the KDE Anongit mirror system.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a look at the source code and see if I can figure something out.
