Committed on 19/07/2021 at 06:47. Pushed by ndavis into branch 'master'. Kickoff: Refactor and tweak design Changes: - Now uses implicit content size to set the size of the plasmoid, which fixes translated string elision issues. - Much simpler code. This is a red patch. - Reduced RAM usage. Pages that are not in use are unloaded. The models aren't unloaded, so it shouldn't negatively affect performance in other ways. - Vertical movement and opacity animation when switching from normal page to search view. - Single horizontal movement and opacity animation when switching from applications page to places page. - Opacity animation when switching from favorites grid to apps list. - KickoffListView and KickoffGridView now support PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End shortcuts like lists and grids do on the web. See https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/#grid - KickoffListView/KickoffGridView keyboard navigation disables hovering to change current item for 100ms. It's meant to filter out accidental mouse movement while using the arrow keys to navigate. - Add Ctrl+F shortcut to focus search bar - Focus the next item down when pressing down while the search bar is focused instead of focusing the 1st item. The old kickoff did this and made it faster to select and activate items. - Hovering near the bottom/top of a view no longer rapidly selects a series of new items lower down/higher up that are not yet visible. - Single letter section headers are now horizontally center aligned with icons. - Scroll to switch tabs. - Added pin button to keep the launcher open. - Show tooltips for list/grid items that have elided text. - Padding and spacing are more uniform. - List items have better vertical pixel alignment. - Fixed pixel alignment of arrows in sidebar category items - Sidebar list items line up with main content area list items and section headers - Labels in grid items now have consistent vertical positions. - Fixed error in tools.js with favoriteModel.enabled Related: bug 433103, bug 432270, bug 439140, bug 431913, bug 433146, bug 433241, bug 408313 FIXED-IN: 5.23 M +7-3applets/kickoff/package/contents/config/main.xml M +55 -97 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ActionMenu.qml D +0-142 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsGroupView.qml A +140 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0-358 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsView.qml A +88 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BasePage.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0-55 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BaseView.qml D +0-70 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Breadcrumb.qml D +0-41 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ComputerView.qml M +31 -11 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ConfigGeneral.qml A +30 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/EmptyPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0-129 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesGridView.qml D +0-133 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesView.qml A +193 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Footer.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0-20 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FrequentlyUsedView.qml M +119 -736 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml M +186 -146 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Header.qml A +59 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/HorizontalStackView.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +53 -27 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Kickoff.qml D +0-93 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridItem.qml M +200 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridView.qml D +0-175 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItem.qml A +227 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItemDelegate.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] M +211 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffListView.qml A +137 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffSingleton.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +43 -104 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/LeaveButtons.qml A +53 -0applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/NormalPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] A +76 -0

Well, I'm glad it was note the case, anyway if every the efforts I put in my "interventions" worked just for you to even keep in consideration the possibility, it was all worthy from my point of view. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

For the record I don't want to convince you or anybody for that matters, I'm Just new to the community and I just wanted to productively discuss something in order to find a way for me and for others to optimize the menu possibily to our needs, just because I'm not able to do it myself, so I've been told that joining the community I might have met somebody (even if not the main developers) who could possibily have helped me join the effort to get there, maybe even forking the project, so I followed the advice and wrote here as a start but it didn't seem too productive. I don't know how to search for such people in order to get in touch and possibily work on it, that's the only reason I write here, anyway I'm sorry to say I don't feel taken articularly seriously or welcome. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Wow, you're Bering very professional being sarcastico and only taking in account tour own view. That Just was to show the First impressions about a lack of customization like that, which by the way was not the only One I Met online, It Just seem counterintuitive, and people Who expressed that point of view Just pointed out, and they have been nice doing so, that It urely should be something "they" plan to do "in the future" as "they" Will fine tube the work. Thanks for taking in account Just your own point of view in a community. At least Just Say It Is not a priority. (And I don't understands why adding some code which has already been created Is hard work, but that's Just my point of view) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434736 --- Comment #12 from Marco --- https://youtu.be/qbAuxp_I0zk >From minute 4:6 to minute 4:15 of the video above, there's proof that there are other users, too, Who notice this lack of customization. I'd like to point out that when you say: "I'm not sure this would be a great idea. We would still want a list to display search results, since grid-based search results have no advantages over lists, and many disadvantages. So this means we would have to dynamically switch the display style between grid (when navigating normally) and a list (when displaying search results). I think this might be weird." ...I think you don't seem to take in account the fact that what you just described already happens all the times you decide to perform a search just right after clicking the menu to open it (because "favorites" is already the first category you see when you open it, and applications there are already displayed in a grid). So basically what you called "weird" already happens in the vast majority of the times a user May make a search. Please Just consider using the code you already coded.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434736 --- Comment #11 from Marco --- Unfortunately classic plain menu always "lags" in any circumstances when overloaded with installed applications, and with every graphic card. Other menus se can add as plasmoids are way too simple to cover all the functionality kickoff 2.0 finally covers in a functional way. We, as user, only lack the chance customize It a Little more to make It perfect to our needs. I always thought What distinguishes KDE from other DE Is High customization to one's needs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434736 --- Comment #10 from Marco --- But at least leave the user the freedom over that, freedom of choice and customization to their needs, I don't think this switch would be weird at all when searching. It's a thing other KDE menus already do. Even vanilla Gnome does that. I, as a visual and usability designer myself working for 20 Years in this field (even though not in open source projects) don't think, and my point is this, that it is weirder than having that aspect covered only in One part of the menu and not in all the others, I can see why It has been chosen ti show "favorites" but then it's inconsistent to leave the chance to view them back "in a list". So, I'm asking where Is the consistecy of that First choicein First hand then?. It's Just handy. Handy as It would be applied to the rest for visual and very fast users. It's like being visually ergonomic and convenient. Not quite like removing One click or two to complete One task, but It goes really close to that for some users like me Who would like to see non proprietary software reach some peaks. We had tò wait for so long tò reach a functional vanilla menù ok KDE. Precipua kickoff wasn't so convenient. And the alternative basic menu always, always, renders poorly when there are a lot of applications installed If you Will, technically speaking, under the light of design principles What we have now It Is indeed inconsistent for perceptive reasons that are too long for me to express and define here (I spent 5 Years of university to learn about them) I don't mean by no means to offend anybody here, it's Just mere technical speech. Please seriously consider adding that option too (that has already been coded). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
