#7 Default Shortcut for KWin's "No Border" function
Opened 3 years ago by michaeltunnell. Modified 2 years ago

"No Border" is a very useful function in KWin but by default it does not have any shortcut at all so I suggest that Fedora adopt a shortcut for it.

I suggest Meta*+H to activate the function. (H for Hide borders)
- Meta+B could also be an option but Meta+H is the suggestion because of Ctrl+H being a hiding/showing files in file managers.

Note * - "Meta" is the term KDE uses to refer to Super aka "Windows" key.

For those not aware of this feature: this allows you to remove the Window Decorations of the Active Window.

You can invoke this via the Window Context Menu by doing the following:
Right click the titlebar of a window -> More Actions -> No Border

Is there any specific reason that would prevent this from happening in KDE upstream? If no, could you report that there too? Thanks

@siosm KDE upstream doesn't seem to make changes here unless they start happening in distros first.

I have attempted to do this upstream and they said no; the reasoning . . .

"As I mentioned in T10568 we need IMHO better discoverability not yet another global shortcut."

and even telling people that distros should be doing these things:

"It's up to downstream whether "Hide Window Border" must have a shortcut assigned to it."
