hot take: when you click the X on a window for a program, it should close the program, it shouldn't hide the window and continue running in the background, it shouldn't minimize itself to your panel, it should just close

@doctormo if this was a real feature i'd legitimately consider switching to gnome

@doctormo @mjdxp GNOME does not take user requests.

You will like the desktop they give you. Or else.

@doctormo @mjdxp KDE has Ctrl-Alt-Esc shortcut that kills whatever program you click on next

@doctormo @mjdxp also lol you probably can’t add that button in gnome. Client-side decorations are rendered and handled by the app itself. If it freezes completely, the button just won’t work anyway.

@newt @mjdxp

I am thinking of a way around that.

Perhaps we register a square of the screen with the window manager that if pressed, killed a specific pid. No matter what was going on with that pid, the wm could murder it.

@doctormo @mjdxp just add a global shortcut like in kde. It’s the simplest one.

@newt @mjdxp Well yes, if we didn't want to have spicy pirate buttons.

There is a gnome extension already for killing apps, I'm going to install it and see if i can kill some stuff.

extensions.gnome.org/extension

@doctormo @newt @mjdxp if spicy pirate buttons is what you want, can't you add it to the panel and then have it act like Plasma's shortcut from there? (eg click the window to kill)

@Reiddragon @mjdxp @doctormo at this point, it would be easier just to make GNOME kill random windows every now and then
