#274235 — Unable to Resize Playlist Window in Qmmp Player

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I'm not able to resize the playlist window in Qmmp Player. The playlist
window's height is longer than my screen and I'm not able to see its bottom
part.

$ qmmp -v
QMMP version: 1.6.2
Compiled with Qt version: 5.15.6
Using Qt version: 5.15.8

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
...


Thank you.

Two possible workarounds:
1. Give the window focus.
    Alt-space, M (move) or R (resize), and then use either your mouse or
arrow keys to do the thing.  If R does nothing, the window might be
maximized.  With the window menu open, U=unmaximize.

2.  Point to the window.  Hold down alt.  Then primary mouse button = move
and secondary = resize.

Those assume your WM acts like XFCE.

Thanks, this actually worked. I've now managed to resize it.

Alt is convenient while working with applications that frequently create 
new windows. Unfortunately it shadows useful actions in various 
applications. Browsers allows to select text withing a link without 
opening it. Graphics editors use modifiers for mouse events as well. For 
me it is a reason to keep disabled Alt gestures in window managers.

I have noticed that feh image viewer started under flexbox may protrude 
to upper and lower virtual desktops while KDE's kwin clamps it to the 
current one. If somebody may post a link that explains X Window protocol 
that is used for window size and position negotiation, I would be 
grateful. My curiosity is not strong enough to read specs.

In GIMP it usually works to press the modifiers after the mouse-down.

This is one of the few good reasons for me to upgrade to a keyboard with
more modifiers -- so I can use one of the new ones to replace conflicting
key commands.  XFWM (XFCE?) had ctrl+FX = move to workspace X.  Which is
fine, except ctrl-F4 traditionally means "close subwindow/tab".  So that one
got unmapped.

Hi,

For Openbox (which can be used as the window manager within XFCE), I
have in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml:

<mouse>
  ...

  <context name="Frame">
    ...
    <mousebind button="W-Left" action="Drag">
      <action name="Move"/>
    </mousebind>

    ...
    <mousebind button="W-Right" action="Drag">
      <action name="Resize"/>
    </mousebind>
    ...

This way, I can move (resp. resize) windows using the left (resp. right)
mouse button while the left logo key is being held (xev calls the key
Super_L). This allows Alt-drag to work normally in Firefox to select
text from clickable links (as well as Alt-LMB to work in Gimp, etc.).

Regards

Can you see the top part? If so resize it by moving the top border down.

I just installed and tried it out on Trixie and it is working fine.

qmmp -v
QMMP version: 1.6.2
Compiled with Qt version: 5.15.13
Using Qt version: 5.15.13

Are you using KDE Plasma Desktop Environment? You may want to try out
elisa. Elisa is much nicer.
