By default, the Overview is activated by the top left &#39;hot corner&#39;, which I found by accident. <br/><br/>I want to focus on one window at a time and not have to worry about its position. Setting &#39;cortile&#39; to the Maximized setting and the Panel Configuration Visibility to &#39;Dodge Windows&#39; gives me what I was looking for. <br/><br/>The Overview is now tied to a keyboard shortcut and acts like rofi would, as a window and virtual desktop switcher, as well as an application launcher. <br/><br/>In KDE System Settings, keyboard shortcuts can be configured for switching virtual desktops and moving windows between virtual desktops. It is a bit fiddly and takes quite a bit of time to figure it out, but KDE does not disappoint with with how much it can be customized. <br/><br/>I think this concept and integration of cortile would also work well in the Cinnamon desktop environment (haven&#39;t yet tried it), though Cinnamon may not quite the same feature as KDE Overview. <br/><br/>#Linux #customization #KDE #artix #cortile<br/> <img src="https://social.retroedge.tech/media/932fc743-77fd-4cb7-9ec0-b3ac59678a37/Screenshot_20260507_221412.png"> <br/> <img src="https://social.retroedge.tech/media/eea733f4-dc74-4149-b56f-e5419b225dbe/2026-05-07-221235_1920x1080_scrot.png"> <br/> 2026-05-08T03:55:20Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdgen6y8ptg67x0ycdaktmkxwkg3xq0kt49xumdtdzm5h5erq4pnszyrd0cw7hhu0gpza4sw3e5m3cxzwqtceykfxmgwhk7quehywr5kn6s5389s4 Sent out the announcement of the first winner of a weekly computer giveaway.

I am familiar with CDE, but haven&#39;t used it regularly. <br/><br/>I should spend some more time with it. <br/><br/>I think my ideal is a window manager like i3wm with some custom things with the rofi launcher. <br/><br/>... however, that is not ideal for regular people who I&#39;d like to help switch to Linux. For quite a few years, my &#39;go to&#39; default has been the Cinnamon desktop on either Linux Mint Debian Edition or Devuan. <br/><br/>I was urged to take a look at KDE and I have. I&#39;ve been seeing some rough edges with KDE, little issues and problems, but overall I respect KDE and recognize why so many people choose it on Linux and FreeBSD. <br/><br/>Long answer, a little off topic. 2026-04-24T19:30:14Z
