OK, any plans to merge it to master?
However, I am not giving up on my project yet, since it brings some features which will never arrive to KWin upstream (such as the Close option in Present Windows and full-screen unredirection) because the devs simply don't want to see them anymore.

Good news :-)
The main reason I use KDE is kwin. I don't know how other window manager function these days, but I usually had trouble turning off compositing (Ctrl+Alt+F12) on other window managers. The issue is with compositing enabled that even with windowed scenarios that it's not as amazingly fast as as without compositing (obviously).
E.g. Window resize performance is sometimes 2 pixels behind the cursor when compositing is enabled on all operating systems and all window managers.
Depending on scenario I need a glitch-free switch.Last edited by thechef; 22 June 2019, 02:30 PM.

Great to see Roman being contracted by Valve! He did some great improvements to kwin and Wayland. I use KDE Plasma on Wayland only and I do have less and less complains, sure it needs some polish and some important bug fixes, but overall I'm quite happy with it, especially now when kwin get's the necessary attention. I don't know, but Valve is really doing awesome work (Linux, drivers, RADV, Proton, DXVK, FAudio, ...) and they seem to drive the developments into the right direction, I do own already a lot of games on Steam, but with this I'm really forced to get more :-)

I would like to be able to close windows from ALT + TAB.
Reading some comments here about stopping the compositor or full-screen redirect, I wonder if this is really what users want? Personally I prefer that at all time I can switch back to my desktop and that I'm not blocked to do that by some keyboard locking or missing animations, just like on Android where an app just feels integrated into the desktop and swipe always works fine.

R41N3R Proper switching between fullscreen and desktop is one of the reasons why auto unredirect is superior to Plasma's pause compositing approach, as switching is instant and there is no kind of "locking". Gaming profits a lot by this.
On Gnome, applications can also control if compositor stays on in fullscreen. With Compton, you can define it on a per app basis.
