KDE window rule to prevent windows maximizing?
by abejarano from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K4N9)
Thank you,
It's just annoying in a 4k screen, when there are other related windows open and they get covered up with a new application opening up with the entire screen. It's not about maximizing with the screen edges. It's just opening an "app" and its window taking over the screen. I've tried closing the windows in a size that is good as MS Windows does but it does not always work. Specifically Konsole keeps opening new windows full screen.
There is a setting in KDE's System Settings called "Window Rules" in "Window Management" but all the related sub-selections from the window menu or title bar that is called "More Actions" just show a blank. For example "Configure special window settings" just returns a blank as do the two other selections possible. So I think additional software needs installation. If so what would be the name of the additional software, and if you think it possible how would I set up a rule to prevent any opening application from beginning with a maxed out window?
