Ok, I read the thread and I still strongly believe that this is poor design
choice. Two easy example that I'm struggling with after trying to use Plasma
Wayland for less than 20 minutes. I might have missed something, so please be
gentle and correct me if I'm wrong. But here are the examples and later a brief
conclusion:
## Example 1
I want to replace `rofi` (does not work on Wayland) with `fuzzel` or `wofi`. I
have installed fuzzel using my distro's package manager, and I can run it from
terminal and it works just fine. Now, I want to add a keyboard binding to run
it. When I click on "+ Add Application..." button from the bottom middle
column, I cannot find fuzzel. Another way would be to use sh/bash/zsh binaries
and pass a command, none of those can be found either!! An alternative way can
be to run a terminal (e.g alacritty or konsole) and make it to run a command,
but guess what, after selecting Alacritty, I cannot pass any subcommands and
arguments to that!!
## Example 2
Some software are dependent on subcommands. Flameshot is a good example (as I'm
one of the maintainers). When I select Flameshot from the "+ Add
Application..." menu, I cannot choose which subcommand to run and which what
arguments.
## Conclusion
What you have done is forcing the user to create numerous scripts for the
smallest things they want to do with their DE. None of the above examples are
against the Wayland design or is restricted by Wayland protocol in any shape or
form, and yet the Plasma Wayland is deliberately (or as you officially stated
"intentionally") not letting the user to do the most basic action that all
minimalistic window managers are letting user to do. You have also left users
no guidance or choice! This is bad in another layer. I have been KDE Plasma
user for over a decade, and yet I'm totally lost.
