🧵 2/n

👉 Meta+Tab does NOT trigger the Overview
👉 accidentally, i've found out that Meta+Esc opens the system monitor
👉 the well-known Ctrl+W wörks almost no-where - it closes almost everything in #Gnome. I need to change …well, either the KDE shortcuts, or the Logitech mouse's DPI-Button macro
👉 the #NetworkManager GUI supports a "shipload" of nerdy stuff - no need for nmtui setting up bond0 🤩 👍
👉 there's a Qt variant of Transmission - it also supports seeding at 0bit/s 😉👍

🧵 3/n apparently, Meta+W triggers the "Overview"!

*sigh* how lazy do i want to be, today? 😅 Is this "good enough"?

Meta+W is kind of a cumbersome "Affengriff", as we colloquially call it in German - [monkey gesture] - it's a bit inconvenient.

It seems, i can't open the "Start" menu via "hot corners" / "Screen Edges" - WHY? 😱

I might've over-estimated KDE, slightly - it's amazingly configurable, via GUI tools - but not exactly where it counts, yet. 😉

🧵 4/n
I haven't quite figured out how to move windows to another monitor, yet - multi-monitor setup, here.

Meta+Shift+Arrow_Right/Left works, for the portrait sidecar monitor …but not much else.

Tips are appreciated!
I'm noob-ish - just switched from #Ubuntu #Gnome.

Also, how friggen fancy is that; i can adjust the brightness of my monitors, by hovering over the "systray" icon and scroll the mouse wheel! 🥰 AMAZING! (proportions still need some work, but WOW!)

🧵 5/n KDE is just as convenient as #Gnome; i can control / mute the #audio of a single #Firefox tab, then every subsequently opened tab will also be muted, even if the previously muted tab has been closed - that's a very desired behaviour!

👉 multi-tasking / multi-tabbing audio control 👍

edit: scenario - i'm listening to a talk-show/vod-cast, and don't want audio of other tabs, disturbing me. (requires setup - not complicated, mute the 1st, then it's "full-auto")

@platymew maybe I miss something but usually moving windows across monitors works out of the box

@danielwestermann well, there's so much to learn - i've just switched, and didn't learn all the key-combos/shortcuts, yet.

Well, of course, it "works, out of the box", when i use the mouse! (that's not the point)

Do you run multi-monitors in KDE?
Which key combos do you use - is it Meta+Shift+Arrows?
Are you using the KDE defaults?
Where(edit: HOW) did you configure yours?

😅

@platymew Go to system settings keyboard shortcuts , e.g. meta-shift-left

@platymew pretty sure you can assign meta to anything (including overview) since Plasma 6.

@Alonely0 via GUI tools (edit; the settings tool?), that aren't a text editor?

…show me (us)!
