Bug ID: 487292
Summary: Option to enable activate on hover for bottom panel,
as well as customize the bottom panel
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: windows2li...@zoho.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
Can we get an option to use "activate on hover" for the bottom panel, which
includes "Applications" and "Places"?
There's already enough clicking and flinging the cursor around to do what the
Legacy Launcher could do more easily and intuitively.
Now we have *fewer* options to configure our launcher? It's one of the *most
used features* of the Plasma desktop.
Because the Legacy Launcher no longer works with Plasma 6, I have no choice but
to try and adapt to this new launcher.
And why have "Places" at the bottom, which then further divides into *three
more* sub-categories on the opposite side, which requires more mouse flinging
to navigate to often-used items?
We can no longer have this at the bottom panel (Legacy Launcher style):
Applications -> quickly access an app
Places -> quickly access favorite folders
History -> quickly access recently opened files/folders
Instead, we are forced into this:
Applications -> quickly access an app
Places -> must click (no option to hover) -> aim the mouse cursor over to three
more sub-categories -> hover over the desired one -> fling the mouse cursor
back to the opposite side to select the item
There seems to be a trend of trying to "cram things into panels" and "require
more side-to-side mouse movements".
