Some thought on Q4OS

Firstly I would like to say that the developers did a really good job with this distribution.
I installed it on an old HP ZBook G3 laptop.
The installer is easy to use. I like how there is a section to install popular applications and that chrome and notepadqq are there. I like how you can easily set screen scaling. There is almost perfect integration with progressive web apps as well. The only missing thing is that if you right click to open a file in a progressive web app the web app opens but the file selected does not open in it. I tested this with js paint and visual studio code web.

I use the online version of microsoft office. Adding a straightforward way to mount onedrive in the file manager would be the biggest request.

I am not sure if the issue is with my hardware or not but two finger scrolling does not work for me. The window management things I miss are pulling down a window to unmaximize it. Furthermore, window snapping.   
It would be also good if file compression and uncompressing could be added by default. What I mean is right clicking on a file to zip it.

Totally Agree! And Bluetooth also should work out of the box by default. q4os beautifull & lightning powerfull already, just (i think) need more focus & attention on basic essentials programs to work properly out of the box by default (compressing file, bluetooth, etc).
Btw, have u try install 7zip & use it?

Are you using Dolphin as file browser? Such an option exists and it is enabled by default.
