Bug ID: 432064
Summary: Being able to create "switches" to enable commands for
desktop shortcuts and being able to set them globally
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: toadfi...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
What I mean is,that somewhere in system settings you can create "switches".
For those "switches" you have to enter a command like "foo" or "foo=1".
And then you can turn that switch on or off.
If you turn it on,then it gets enabled for all .desktop files (means,if the you
added the "switch" "foo" and enabled it,the .desktop file of for example
firefox that normally is "firefox" as a command,then it's "foo firefox").
And you can change the order (so if you set that "foo" is higher than
"foo2",then if will look like "foo foo2 firefox").
And in the properties of a .desktop file there is the tab "switches" or
something like that,and you can see all the switches that you have (no matter
if they are turned on or not globally) in their right priority order and you
can turn them on or off for that application there.
It would also be cool to be able to open the "switch settings" for multiple
.desktop files at once,so you can change that for example
firefox,thundermail,gparted etc. don't use the switch "foo" (that is enabled
globally) at once instead of going into the properties of each .desktop file
manually.
That feature would be very cool and I would feel futuristic,cause right now I
have to edit the commands for all the .desktop files I have manually and I
can't use them globally and everything takes longer.
I know that I can enable env vars in .profile globally,but that's not a good
way to do that,cause only env vars work and not commands like "foo" and you
have to log out and in again everytime you wanna add a env var.
And if you say that I could use programs like Lutris or Gamehub,the problem
with those are is that they aren't implemented in kde and cause of that they
don't interact with the system that good (for example,you can't change switches
in properties,and it doesn't work that good with krunner and programs don't get
automatically and it isn't as fast as my idea etc.).
