Try such a slow speed with any other sub-menu paradigm. If I move my cursor as slowly as you depict in your video in Kicker or a sub-menu in one of our apps, I get the same effect.</p>

<p>Triangle menu filters are actually accelerators for experts. For decades, I've observed regular users move their cursors in straight horizontal and vertical lines to access sub-menus. They intuitively grasp that they shouldn't pass the cursor over another content area. It's only experts who want to move in quick diagonal lines and whose high-efficiency use cases are enhanced by triangle filters. And it's important to support experts! But we mustn't forget "Simple by default".</p>
<p>FWIW, I'm all for the triangle menu filter, myself. Sadly I lack the technical ability to do it; that kind of back-end algorithmic programming is quite far from my area of expertise. I was kind of hoping that <span class="phabricator-remarkup-mention-unknown">@davidedmindson</span> would revive his old code for it. But for the above-mentioned reasons, I don't think this is a prerequisite.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>faster-kickoff-tab-switch-on-hover (branched from master)</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11848">https://phabricator.kde.org/D11848</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Plasma, abetts, hein<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>rkflx, hein, cfeck, plasma-devel, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
