KDE - cursor not being captured in games

make your games playable again

the fix is to run the game in fullscreen.

sure, the actual fix would be to have it just work, but what ever actually works well on desktop linux.

how to “fix” it:
KDE System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Global Keyboard Shortcuts > look for “Make Window Fullscreen” and set a shortcut. I set CTRL + Shift + UP for example.

I found out that if you run the game in fullscreen, it will successfully capture the cursor, even when alt-tabbing.
