Thanks for the reply!

The active window will always get the menu content, no questions asked there.
But, when there are no applications open, and for instance when the window
chooser is active "Plasma Desktop" is displayed (that's my cue that there are
no active application windows), there should be a standard set of items.

Now, I always use the folder mode, so, when in folder mode, there should be
menus for instance,

File - for file operations
Edit - for file operations
View - for display options of the icons
Go - easy navigation to places and mounted disks, last used items, and network
connection options
Window - this is your Plasma navigation menu, windows, virtual desktops,
activities…
Help - standart help access

For the rumoured widget mode (I never use it), these could be configured as you
say, to display whatever is relevant to that mode.

The main logic behind this change it, theoretically, when we use the global
menu for system navigation and cancel the standard bottom Plasma panel,
everything should also be available also in this global menu paradigm without
having to resort to specific widgets. The only sort of required other widget
should be the application launcher menu.

I recognise that this paradigm is very macOS'y, but when we already have the
global menu, we could as well make it worthwhile to have it. It would also
really help folks like me that use macOS regularly to feel more at home with
KDE. It is also a 40 year old paradigm, which is tried extensively and in use
today.

This way also we could make Dolphin integrate more deeply into Plasma. To be
fair, having to launch Dolphin in order to manipulate files on the Desktop
extensively is not ideal at all.
