It always wants to play on the first (left most) monitor. I have to start pauvolume and select my primary monitor every time I reboot. Have you actually found a monitor with good speakers? :-) I don't know if this is a bug or configuration since my 2 monitors have really bad speakers and I refuse to use them. My external Bose speakers do a *much* better job. :-) > > 4) It would be really, really nice if KDE remembered which desktop an application was on when you rebooted after doing a forced shutdown. For example, sometimes I have 30 Firefox browsers open on various topics, spread across 3 or 4 desktops, plus some PDFs in viewers and a few Konsole sessions and a few Kwrite documents... and a large update comes along that I need to apply that requires a reboot. Did you check "System Settings-->Startup and Shutdown-->Desktop Session"? > > Generally I do a #dnf update followed by a #shutdown -r now. > > When I reboot and login to a new session, Firefox allows me to restore all my open browsers, but it doesn't remember which Desktop they were on... so I have to manually sort them. Likewise Konsole sessions don't remember what Desktop they were in, nor the path they were open to. Would be nice if they did. You probably will get closer to your goal by checking/trying the options noted above and logging out prior to doing a restart. You may also want to investigate "System Settings-->Window Management--Window Rules". You can control where, what size, etc, of applications. > > 5) There is an unintended behavior whereby if I open a document fullsize on one screen, it goes fullsize on any screen I move it to. > > For example, I run a 22" monitor in portrait mode to the left of my primary 43" 4K monitor. I often fullscreen a document in the side monitor to refer to while I am working on something on the primary monitor. If I then drag the document from the side monitor to the primary 4K monitor, it goes fullscreen there. And then I have to resize it. It would be nice if it stayed the same size, pixel wise, when it moves from screen to screen. Sounds to me as if that is an intended behavior. If a window is in full-screen and you move it another display why shouldn't it remain in full-screen? > > 6) My mouse doesn't move enough... > > My desktop is very wide. A side 1920x1080 monitor running in portrait beside a 4K monitor. I have my mouse speed/acceleration turned right up, but I often run out of space on my mouse pad before I can move across or even up and down my desktop. It would be nice if there was more speed/acceleration so less hand movement was required. > FWIW, I got sick of mice and the wrist pain if produced for me. I switched to a trackball and never regretted that decision. I can zip across my 2 2560x1440 displays with the flick of a finger. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
