<p><h1>Window Behavior</h1> Here you can customize the way windows behave when being moved, resized or clicked on. You can also specify a focus policy as well as a placement policy for new windows.</p> <p>Please note that this configuration will not take effect if you do not use KWin as your window manager. If you do use a different window manager, please refer to its documentation for how to customize window behavior.</p>

Raise/Lower

Shade/Unshade

Maximize/Restore

Keep Above/Below

Move to Previous/Next Desktop

Change Opacity

Handle mouse wheel events

Titlebar wheel event:

Behavior on <em>left</em> click into the titlebar or frame of an <em>active</em> window.

Maximize Button

Here you can customize behavior when clicking on the maximize button.

Behavior on <em>left</em> click onto the maximize button.

Behavior on <em>middle</em> click onto the maximize button.

Behavior on <em>right</em> click onto the maximize button.

Wheel

In this row you can customize behavior when scrolling into an inactive inner window ('inner' means: not titlebar, not frame).

Scroll

Activate & Scroll

Activate, Raise & Scroll

Move

Here you can customize KDE's behavior when scrolling with the mouse wheel in a window while pressing the modifier key.

Mouse wheel:

Your names

Your emails

The focus policy is used to determine the active window, i.e. the window you can work in. <ul> <li><em>Click to focus:</em> A window becomes active when you click into it. This is the behavior you might know from other operating systems.</li> <li><em>Focus follows mouse:</em> Moving the mouse pointer actively on to a normal window activates it. New windows will receive the focus, without you having to point the mouse at them explicitly. Very practical if you are using the mouse a lot.</li> <li><em>Focus under mouse:</em> The window that happens to be under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, the last window that was under the mouse has focus. New windows will not automatically receive the focus.</li> <li><em>Focus strictly under mouse:</em> Only the window under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, nothing has focus.</li> </ul>Note that 'Focus under mouse' and 'Focus strictly under mouse' prevent certain features such as the Alt+Tab walk through windows dialog in the KDE mode from working properly.

ms

&Raise, with the following delay:

Delay focus by:

C&lick raises active window

When this option is enabled, there will be a delay after which the window the mouse pointer is over will become active (receive focus).

This is the delay after which the window the mouse pointer is over will automatically receive focus.

S&eparate screen focus

When this option is enabled, focus operations are limited only to the active Xinerama screen

Active screen follows &mouse

When this option is enabled, the active Xinerama screen (where new windows appear, for example) is the screen containing the mouse pointer. When disabled, the active Xinerama screen is the screen containing the focused window. By default this option is disabled for Click to focus and enabled for other focus policies.

Maximizing

The placement policy determines where a new window will appear on the desktop. <ul> <li><em>Smart</em> will try to achieve a minimum overlap of windows</li> <li><em>Maximizing</em> will try to maximize every window to fill the whole screen. It might be useful to selectively affect placement of some windows using the window-specific settings.</li> <li><em>Cascade</em> will cascade the windows</li> <li><em>Random</em> will use a random position</li> <li><em>Centered</em> will place the window centered</li> <li><em>Zero-Cornered</em> will place the window in the top-left corner</li></ul>
