Bug ID: 441773
Summary: Application launcher replacement does not allow
reverting
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
After updating to KDE plasma 5.21, the applications launcher (similar to the
"windows" key on MS windows) got changed to a different layout without asking
and without giving the option to revert to the old one in the "Switch
alternatives" menu.
Previously, one could find a layout of one's liking through the alternatives,
but now it is not possible to have something resembling the old menu that had
been used up to plasma 5.21.
The new menu is much less ergonomic, as most of the times one wants to click
the launcher icon, move the mouse to some app in the "Favorites" list and click
it; which this new layout makes more difficult as moving the mouse upwards is
likely to end up changing the list of shown apps to some application category.
Please add the old menu as an alternative launcher (the one which would show
the favorites in a vertical list when clicked, and have the categories as tabs
at the bottom) and do not push this type of forced replacements on users.
