I think I have reproduced some of this, but let me see if I understand the issue:

- I have a (split view/slideover compatible) app in full screen
- I reach down in the dock and get another such app, and put it in slideover mode
- With mouse/cursor, to hide slide-overs (right side only) you need to push cursor into right side
- to reveal slide-overs (on right side), you again push cursor into right side
- to cycle between slideovers, you swipe on the affordance line at bottom (just like faceid phone)

I also have no trouble with the 3-dot thing: it does what I expect with cursor: make it full screen, switch sides, make it a slide-over. And I can resize the split view.

But here are things I can’t seem to do with slide-overs and mouse/trackpad:
- move them from one side to the other
- hide them on left side (when ‘docked’ on left side, arrow handle persists, and I can click that with cursor to reveal the slide-over)

With finger you can ‘flick’ slide-over by swiping left or right side to make it move to the other side or hide it on either side (you can also flick the top edge to switch sides). But I can find no equivalent when using a cursor. Neither of these things maps to a ‘drag’ action. (Pencil is even more limited: you cannot expose slide-overs, control panel, notifications, dock) It does seem they could at least implement the ‘push’ gesture on the left side of the screen to hide a slide-over over there. And why can’t you grab the top edge and move it to the other side?

But I think this is ‘as designed’ or ‘as not designed’.

It’s worth noting that there are Global System, Multitasking, Split View and Slide Over keyboard shortcuts to do all of these things. Hold down the ‘Globe’ key to see them all. Arguably these are more complete and precise than using fingers or trackpad/mouse, and it’s pretty easy to memorize the ones you use most (I just discovered that the old Logitech BT keyboard I’ve been using doesn’t seem to have a Global key, but I connected a Magic Keyboard and fn key on it works as such, so now I can go about learning some of them!)

I forgot: my wife’s iPad has a smart connector. Wish my mini did too but I guess it would be hard to work with a keyboard whose width matches up, and awkward to store otherwise.
