Installation
Optional: Remove OpenBox
If you had openbox installed, it can now be safely removed:
(this will also remove obconf and any other dependencies)
As kwin comes with a builtin compositor you may want to remove compton/picom:
(this will also remove compton-conf and any other dependencies)
- Note: Use of compton/picom with kwin is still possible. KDE's builtin compositor can be disabled in "KDE Systemsettings" (free choice!)**
Configuration
- Open LXQt Session Settings
- Select kwin_x11 as window manager
<Screenshot TBD>
Logout or reboot and enjoy LXQt with kwin!
Global Keyboard Shortcuts
Global shortcuts are managed by lxqt-globalkeys (LXQt settings -> Global Shortcuts):
<Screenshot TBD>
Note: Some window manager specific shortcuts are managed by kwin (e.g. "Alt+Tab" for the task switcher). Those are fully transparent to lxqt-globalkeys and cannot be assigned/changed!
Optional (WARNING - ADVANCED SECTION!): Configure kwin Shortcuts
All kwin shortcuts are managed in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc.
- Warning: Editing this file can lead to non-working keys! You have been warned!**
Search for the shortcut of choice and edit it. Alternatives are separated by comma (e.g. Alt+Tab,Alt+Tab,…).
- Changes become effective on next login.** (log out/in for testing)
