Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

KDE plasma has the same win+arrows keymap.

Hm, good to know as a contender to mu setup. Have they invented the same for the middle mouse button?

What exactly is middle mouse navigation?

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've tried to achieve this middle-mouse behavior in various DEs, systems. Like. you press MM, you move mouse up and down, left and right, and the window moves accordingly. I've seen some suggestions, but none of them works like they work on W10.

This works in most linux DEs with combination of either alt or super/meta/win key + left mouse button.

Edit: meaning it could be probably remapped to just middle mouse in plasma, because plasma is so configurable.

I explained it better in a reply to another person: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7118875

I'm yet to use Plasma. I'd see if I'd have an easy way to try it out.
