--- Comment #6 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I share a lot of your criticisms with the
other launcher menus, and I hope that the upcoming overhaul
(https://phabricator.kde.org/T12192) will address them.
However I have to veto this idea, sorry. :) If you eliminate the hover behavior
in Kicker and require a click to open a sub-menu, you've made navigating an app
hierarchy nearly as slow as in Kickoff, which is a valid criticism of Kickoff
and a reason why people prefer Kicker. If we did this, we'd piss off tons and
tons and tons of people.
So if we did it, it would have to be a configurable option. But who would
enable that option? You, clearly, because you requested it. :) But besides you,
I don't think it would ever be touched by anyone else, because it eliminates
one of the major advantages of Kicker. People would look at it and say "lol
this is the 'make Kicker worse' option, don't touch that." It would be the kind
of option that folks would propose removing in 5 years after realizing that
nobody ever used it because it doesn't make conceptual sense given what Kicker
is.
So I'm sorry, but I don't think we'll be able to implement your proposal. :)
Of course, feel free to implement this yourself and post it to store.kde.org as
an alternative. Maybe I'm wrong and it would be a good idea.
