This module is designed to help you control exactly what happens to windows when a mouse is clicked on them.
Because of the design of this panel, you can fine tune the mouse clicks, so that KDE does what you want when you want it to.
This panel is divided into 4 sections.
This section provides a single dropdown box. You can select either Shade, or Maximize.
Selecting Maximise, causes KDE to maximise the window whenever you doubleclick on the titlebar. Shade, on the other hand, causes the window to be reduced to simply the titlebar. Doublclicking on the titlebar again, restores the window to its normal size.
This section, allows you to determine what happens when you single click on the titlebar or frame of a window. Notice that you can have different actions associated with the same click depending on whether the window is active or not.
For each combination of mousebuttons and Active/Inactive, you can select the most appropriate choice. The actions are as follows:
Make this window active.
Will move this window to the bottom of the display. This will get the window out of the way.
Just like it says. Nothing happens.
Will bring up a small submenu, where you can choose window related commands (ie Maximize, Minimize, Close, etc).
Will bring the window to the top of the display. All other windows which overlap with this one, will be hidden "below" it.
This will raise windows which are not on top, and lower windows which are already on top.
This part of the module, allows you to configure what happens when you click on an inactive window, with any of the three mouse buttons.
Your choices are as follows:
This makes the clicked window active, raises it to the top of the display, and passes a mouse click to the application within the window.
This makes the clicked window active and passes a mouse click to the application within the window.
This simply makes the clicked window active. The mouse click is not passed on to the application within the window.
This makes the clicked window active and raises the window to the top of the display. The mouse click is not passed on to the application within the window.
This bottom section, allows you to configure additional actions, when the Alt key is pressed, and a mouse click is made on a window.
Once again, you can select different actions for Left, Middle and Right button clicks.
Your choices are:
Will move this window to the bottom of the display. This will get the window out of the way.
Allows you to drag the selected window around the desktop.
Just like it says. Nothing happens.
Will bring the window to the top of the display. All other windows which overlap with this one, will be hidden "below" it.
Allows you to change the size of the selected window.
This will raise windows which are not on top, and lower windows which are already on top.
