[FEATURE]: Resize to symetric sizes shortcut #415

Open polirritmico opened 2 years ago

polirritmico commented 2 years ago

Summary

The idea is if you press the shortcut all windows on the active desktop resize to symmetrical sizes. Many times I find myself in the situation of wanting to "reset" the distribution of the layout and this IMHO should improve, or at least accommodate some workflows avoiding spending time resizing windows.

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen

To explain the desired behavior I think it is easier to show some examples: (horizontal and vertical proportion values aren't related)

Additional info

I hope the examples are enough explanation. Regards

Mithras commented 1 year ago

I'm also missing this feature. Right now I have to go to settings and check/uncheck some random checkbox to reset window sizes to default. So it's already possible, there is just no shortcut. I'm kinda new to Plasma. Maybe there is a way to reload settings in a script and then just bind it to a shortcut as a temporary workaround?
