Today's article is very Lubuntu/LXQt specific, involving 'window grouping'...

[KGIII]

I can't stand window grouping. I've never liked it. I didn't like it when Windows started doing it. I certainly don't like it now.

While it's kinda hidden, it's possible to disable this feature in Lubuntu. This should work for anyone using LXQt, regardless of distro.

Disable Window Grouping In Lubuntu • Linux Tips

Today's article will only matter if you use Lubuntu and want to disable 'window grouping' in Lubuntu. Window grouping is an annoying feature.

I do like feedback, though this isn't really an article for everyone.

When using smaller screens (eg. 1024x768, even sometimes on 1280x1024) it makes a load of sense...

(On this box, my primary PC (1920x1080x2+1680x1050), I see a panel where I have it enabled and another with it disabled.. as is often the way with GUI features I can't decide which is best; they're just different.

Good and useful article, thank you kind sir.

I don't even like it on smaller screens. I'll just adapt to the smaller instances in the panel - or I'd use different virtual desktops. I despise window grouping. LOL It slows me down. I am used to clicking on smaller targets. I need to clean this one up a little bit, as I'm back up to 108 open tabs. The thing is, I know what is on the tabs and where to find 'em. (This works *for me*. Dunno if anyone else would like it.)

I suppose I might get used to it if I used it long enough, maybe... Just maybe... I didn't like it the first times I used it. These days, it's one of the first changes I make.

I'm sure there are people who like it. I'm sure there are people who think I'm the weird one. I'm sure that there are people who are using other desktops and lamenting that they can't have window grouping.

As it is, it slows me down and I end up hunting for stuff.
